# Riolu #75/135 — Plasma Storm

## Summary

Riolu is a Basic common, the sort of pull that fills out a Plasma Storm binder without anyone chasing it, and its Fighting-type kit never meant tournament play. Demand is fan-driven: Riolu is a Sinnoh favorite and the pre-evolution of Lucario, and Ken Sugimori's name adds a small completist premium. A $0.55 modelled guide, down 10% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 333 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 guides at about $37 against $85 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
