Riolu questions

Is Riolu a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Riolu joins the collection from the Sinnoh gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Riolu in PokéSurvivor?

Riolu is Fighting. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Riolu be shiny?

Yes. A wild Riolu is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Riolu a rift legendary?

No. Riolu can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
