Riolu (Japanese: リオル Riolu) is a Fighting-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Riolu's physical appearance closely resembles that of a dog or fox.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Riolu are sensitive to a special type of energy called Aura (Hadou 波導 or literally Wave Guidance). Every object in the world exhibits waves of aura, in a concept similar to Ki or Chakra. Riolu's evolved form Lucario can use these waves to attack, or study these waves to predict the movements of their opponents, and use them to track anyone. However, Rilou does not have the ability to fully use these powers, although it can still emanate these waves to communicate and sense them - albeit only in "ripples" as opposed to the "waves" of energy its evolution can sense and guide. Most notably, it cannot learn Aura Sphere or Detect naturally, two moves that Lucario learns that are often attributed to its wave-guiding powers.
Like almost all Fighting-type Pokémon, Riolu naturally has superhuman strength, stamina, and endurance and is capable of making long journeys on foot in a short amount of time.
Behavior
Habitat
Riolu's habitat is unknown as it is currently only obtained through an egg in the games.

It is true that there is only one obtainable Riolu in the game via egg. However, for the purposes of completing your Pokédex, you can view a Riolu owned by a trainer in Oreburgh Gate. You will need the HMs Rock Smash and Surf. In the same area you can also find the TM Focus Punch and the item Earth Plate.

Evolution
Trivia
Origin
Riolu appears to be based on the Egyptian god Anubis, who has the head of a jackal.
Riolu is very similar to Togepi in how it is obtained as well as how it evolves. However, it is closer to a concept of a Baby Pokémon than Togepi because its evolution, Lucario, was introduced to the public before it was.
Name origin
Riolu's name is merely Lucario's with the first syllable placed at the end and the ca part taken out altogether.
