Where it came from
The Riolu card numbered 75/135 originates from the Plasma Storm expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which was released in early 2013 as part of the Black & White series. This set introduced the Team Plasma thematic element, which featured cards with distinctively metallic, blue-bordered designs to signify their affiliation with the game's antagonist organization. The expansion was designed to integrate the powerful Team Plasma mechanics, shifting the meta-game toward cards that provided synergistic bonuses for Team Plasma-labeled Pokémon.
This particular Riolu card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and recognized artists in the history of the Pokémon TCG. Arita’s approach for this card emphasizes the Fighting-type nature of the Pokémon, placing Riolu in a dynamic, ready-to-strike pose consistent with his long-standing work on the franchise. As a common card, it served a foundational role in the set, providing players with an accessible entry point to evolve into Lucario, which remained a popular strategic staple throughout the Black & White era.
