Riolu is a Fighting-type Pokémon (National Dex #447) with a low stat total of 285. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A, Sword & Shield, BDSP and Legends: Arceus, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Attack at 70, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Riolu takes super-effective damage from Flying, Psychic, Fairy. It resists Bug, Rock, Dark. Its ability options are Steadfast, Inner Focus, Prankster, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Riolu evolves into Lucario. You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.

In-game, Riolu has 61 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (34), Legends: Z-A (11), Sword & Shield (5), BDSP (7), Legends: Arceus (4) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Legends: Z-A, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Riolu ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
