Provenance

Where it came from

The Riolu card numbered 70/147 was released as part of the Burning Shadows expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in August 2017. As a standard common card, it serves as a foundational element within the set, representing the Emanation Pokémon in its early evolution stage. The set was thematic to the Sun & Moon era, drawing heavily from the Alola region aesthetic and introducing new gameplay mechanics like GX cards.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has been a prolific contributor to the franchise for years. Saitou’s approach for this piece emphasizes Riolu’s characteristic scrappy and energetic demeanor, utilizing clean lines and a dynamic pose that reflects the Pokémon's Fighting type. Upon release, the card was widely distributed in booster packs, serving as a functional, accessible entry point for players looking to incorporate the Lucario evolution line into their competitive or casual decks.
