POKÉMON - Plush - Riolu (Jazwares)

Riolu is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a small dog. Its body, ears, arms, and tail are blue, while its chest, legs, and muzzle are black. There is a yellow stripe around its neck resembling a collar. On the back of its paws, there are white protrusions, probably a nod to the spikes present on Lucario's paws. On Riolu's muzzle, there is a recognizable sort of "mask," similar to that of raccoons, with two appendages sensitive to Aura on the sides that rise when it senses or emits it. Its eyes are red. Riolu does not fully rest on the soles of its feet, but only on the tips.

Riolu is sensitive to a special energy called Aura. Its evolved form, Lucario, uses waves of this energy to attack or even predict its opponents' moves or track anyone. However, Riolu does not fully master this ability, although it can still emit waves to communicate and perceive them. It is worth noting that it does not naturally learn Aura Sphere and Detect, two moves that Lucario does learn and are often attributed to its Aura powers. In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, it is possible to obtain a Level 30 Riolu with Aura Sphere through a special mission. Riolu has a move set similar to the Hitmon family.
