How much is a Riolu Pokémon card worth?

The typical Riolu card costs $0.73. Across the 32 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $0.18 and the dearest is $250.00 — Riolu BW33, at $250.00. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

Card facts are read from openly published card files; prices are read once a day from public marketplace listings into this site's own archive. Figures on this page were read on August 14, 2026.

Riolu Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 32 cards share the Pokédex number Riolu. The Pokédex number ties every print of the same Pokémon together, whatever the set is called and whatever extra words the card name carries. Grouping by the number keeps prints of one Pokémon in one place instead of scattering them by name.
  • What they cost. The typical card is $0.73. Across the 32 priced cards the range runs $0.18 to $250.00.
  • Where it stands. No. 196 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 10 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 66 HP and 27 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Psychic.
  • What is listed below. Every one of the 32 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 0 are counted in the total but have no published price, so they are not listed.
  • When it was read. Every figure on this page comes from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

How much HP and damage Riolu Pokémon cards print

The group line is made of single cards, and they do not all move together. These are the two ends of that spread over the last twelve months.

The cheapest Riolu Pokémon cards you can buy

Every list on this page so far has run from the top down. This one runs from the bottom, because the first question of anyone starting a Riolu collection is what it costs to get in.
The 6 cheapest Riolu cards on file

Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.

These six together cost $1.41, against $250.00 for the single dearest Riolu card. The two ends of the same group sit 1,389× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Riolu".

How Riolu compares with the other Pokémon

A price on its own says nothing until you know what the group next to it costs. This is where Riolu sits among the 206 Pokémon on file.

"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.

Ranked by its single dearest card, Riolu is number 82 of 206 Pokémon, on BW Black Star Promos #BW33 at $250.00. By card count it is number 92, and by the price of an ordinary card number 196three different answers to "is it the most expensive".

Riolu Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Riolu Pokémon cards are there?

There are 32 Riolu cards in this archive, and 32 of them carry a price.

How much is a Riolu Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $0.73. Across the 32 priced cards the range runs from $0.18 to $250.00, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Riolu Pokémon card?

Riolu BW33 from BW Black Star Promos, at $250.00. It is 342× the typical price of the group.

Are Riolu Pokémon cards rare?
