Riolu

Riolu is a species of Pokémon.

It evolves into Lucario.

Creature description

Riolu is a small blue bipedal dog-like Pokémon with a mask. As said in the Pokédex, it is sensitive to life-energy called Aura, giving it the peculiar power of being able to see emotions such as joy and rage in the form of waves. The Aura that emanates from its own body intensifies to alert other Riolu if it is afraid or sad. Its body is flexible yet powerful; it is able to climb over three mountains and across two canyons in one night.

It is the pre-evolution of Lucario, evolving if it is treated well and has its happiness raised during the day. Riolu's legs and torso are colored black and its tail is blue and it has a yellow collar. There are rounded bumps on the backs of Riolu's forepaws, which form into the spikes on Lucario's forepaws. Riolu has a black "mask" and red eyes.

Like Lucario, Riolu is sensitive to Aura, but, unlike Lucario, it does not have the ability to control these powers.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Riolu appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a trophy. It is sometimes considered that Lucario's blue costume may resemble Riolu.

Trivia

• While Riolu's trophy suggests that it evolves into Lucario simply by leveling up, it actually evolves when leveling up during the day, after its happiness has reached a certain high point.
