Riolu 173/091

This is Riolu 173/091 from Paldean Fates, the special set built around the popular shiny Pokemon theme. Because the card number (173) is higher than the set size shown after the slash (091), it sits in the secret rare range, the bonus numbering that extends beyond the main set list.

The Shiny Rare and Baby Shiny tags place it within the shiny subset that defines Paldean Fates, where well known Pokemon are shown in their alternate shiny colouring. Riolu, the pre evolution that fans associate with Lucario, gets the shiny treatment here, which gives a popular Pokemon a fresh and collectable finish.

Riolu has a strong following thanks to its later evolution and its appearances across the series, so a shiny version from Paldean Fates is a natural pickup. For collectors working through the set or building a shiny focused binder, this Riolu is a recognisable and well liked addition.
