Provenance

Where it came from

The Riolu card 63/99 was released in 2012 as part of the Next Destinies expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant era for the game, as it was the first to feature Pokémon-EX cards—powerful versions of popular Pokémon with unique mechanics and high hit points—which fundamentally shifted the competitive landscape of the time.

The card features an illustration by Kouki Saitou, an artist well-regarded for his dynamic and character-focused depictions of Pokémon. Saitou’s design for this Riolu captures the fighting-type creature in a focused, active stance, adhering to the standard aesthetic of the Black & White era, which emphasized clean lines and vibrant, high-contrast backgrounds to suit the evolving art direction of the franchise.
