What it does
Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon during your opponent's next turn.
It's tough enough to run right through the night, and it's also a hard worker, but it's still just a youngster.

Where it came from
The Riolu card (SV21/94) was released in 2019 as part of the Hidden Fates expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set is particularly notable for the 'Shiny Vault' subset, which reintroduced the concept of Shiny Pokémon—variants featuring unique color palettes—to the modern era of the game. The set was designed to cater to both competitive players and long-term collectors, combining high-rarity chase cards with nostalgic artwork that celebrated the history of the franchise.
The aesthetic of this specific card features the iconic Shiny Riolu, characterized by its golden fur, set against a holographic 'Baby Shiny' texture that differentiates it from standard card prints. The card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for a clean, dynamic style that highlights the personality of the subject. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors for its accessible rarity and the distinct, vibrant departure from Riolu's standard blue appearance.
