Where it came from
The Riolu card numbered 078/172 was released in the Brilliant Stars expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted globally in early 2022. This set was notable for introducing the Trainer Gallery subset, which integrated character-focused artwork alongside traditional set cards, reinvigorating interest among collectors during the game's twenty-fifth anniversary era.
The artwork for this specific card was rendered by artist Hitoshi Ariga, a frequent collaborator with the Pokémon franchise known for his clean, dynamic style. Ariga’s design captures the Fighting-type Pokémon in a standard, recognizable pose that emphasizes its agility and martial arts aesthetic, consistent with the visual language used for common-rarity cards intended to be accessible to players building competitive decks.
