CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Riolu discovers others through aura, the waves that allow it to perceive their emotions and the state of its surroundings. Its own body emits them too, more intensely when it feels fear or sadness. Encounters are not limited to gestures or words. This energetic little Pokémon has another language, capable of making perceptible feelings that are often kept hidden.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Under reference me02.5-112, Riolu carries hncl's illustration credit and has a 30-damage attack for one Fighting Energy. After using it, the player cannot reuse it on their next turn. Riolu me01-076 shares that rule, but the set number distinguishes the two printings.
