Riolu

Description

Designed by Akira Komayama, the card captures the essence of the character through its specific design language within the set. Riolu enters the game as a Basic stage Pokémon with 70 hit points. Its gameplay revolves around two primary attacks: Colorless Kick, which deals 20 damage, and Feint, which delivers 40 damage. A key mechanical detail of Feint is that its damage output remains unaffected by Resistance, offering strategic flexibility during battles. With a retreat cost of just one colorless energy, Riolu can be moved easily on the field, allowing players to reposition it effectively. This treatment is highly sought after by those who appreciate the visual diversity within a single print run. Whether you are building a comprehensive set or hunting for specific finish variants, this card represents a solid addition to any Pokémon TCG collection. The Plasma Storm era is remembered for its intense narrative arcs and dynamic card designs, and Riolu plays a central role in that context. Its ability to communicate through tangible auras, as noted in its Pokédex entry, adds depth to its lore. For investors and hobbyists alike, the combination of a popular character, a sought-after finish, and a solid card number makes this release a staple in modern Pokémon collecting.
