Game data

Abilities

  • Inner Focus

    The Pokémon’s intense focus prevents it from flinching or being affected by Intimidate.

  • PranksterHidden

    Increases the priority of the Pokémon’s status moves by 1 stage. However, the Pokémon’s status moves no longer work against Dark-type Pokémon.

Passive (unlock)Mind’s Eye

The Pokémon ignores changes to opponents’ evasiveness, its accuracy can’t be lowered, and it can hit Ghost types with Normal- and Fighting-type moves.

Egg moves

    The user strikes the target with tough punches as fast as bullets. This move always goes first.

  • Triple AxelIcePhysical20 pow · 90%

  • Tachyon CutterSteelSpecial50 pow · —Rare egg move

    The user attacks by launching particle blades at the target twice in a row. This attack never misses.

Unlock costs

Candy needed for a cost-3 starter:

Passive ability
35 🍬
Cost reductions
20 / 50 🍬
Same-species egg
25 🍬
The price only drops once you have hatched enough Riolu eggs: 22 🍬 after 20 hatches, 18 🍬 after 40 hatches, 12 🍬 after 80 hatches.
Friendship needed per candy
75

Expensive starters ask for fewer candies, but earn them far more slowly: Riolu needs 75 friendship per candy, while a cost-1 starter earns one every 25.
