# Riolu #70/147 — Burning Shadows

## Summary

Riolu is a bulk common, a Basic that filled out the Fighting side of a set where the real attention went elsewhere, and its attacks were never deck material. Still, Riolu is a Sinnoh favorite thanks to its Lucario evolution, and Saya Tsuruta's soft, friendly style suits a small, loyal binder crowd. A $0.25 modelled guide, down 7% over 30 days on 16 copies traded, says bulk, with 687 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.15 out of Ascended Heroes.
