As much as we love the baby form of Lucario, it’s not the strongest Pokémon out there. That’s why we’ve put together this guide on how to evolve Riolu in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, because the Emanation Pokémon just doesn’t pack enough punch to take on the gyms of Paldea.
If you’re looking for more help with the newest Pokémon games, check out our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet tera raid battles guide, or our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet legendaries guide. If you’re trying to complete your Pokédex, check out our guides on how to evolve Pawmo, how to evolve Primeape, and how to evolve Charcadet too.
