Every Riolu card

The short version

Riolu has eight printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across five expansions — the earliest in Space-Time Smackdown and the most recent in Promo A. It is a Basic Fighting-type Pokémon printed at between 60 and 70 HP, weak to Psychic, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to four rarities — five Commons, one Rare, one Art Rare and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Shining Revelry, at about 1 in 279 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 643 packs, which is about 11 months at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Pulsing Aura, Deluxe, Shining and Dialga packs. The most recent is Riolu #059, from an expansion that shipped in October 2024. That printing attacks with Punch for 40. The card’s own words: “They communicate with one another using their auras. They are able to run all through the night.” It has been drawn by six artists, You Iribi more than anyone else with three cards.
