FAQ

How do you unlock Riolu in Pokémon Survivors?

By hatching a Rare Egg. Bosses, locked chests and rifts sometimes drop eggs, which hatch in the incubator with the steps you walk in runs; once Riolu hatches, it's yours to play for good.

How does Riolu evolve?

Mid-run, as it levels up: into Lucario at Lv 20.

What is Riolu's starting move?

Riolu starts every run with Force Palm, the family's signature move. The other moves come from level-ups as the line evolves.

Can Riolu Mega Evolve?

Yes: at its final stage, into Mega Lucario or Mega Lucario Z. The Mega Stone drops from the first rift legendary you beat in the run, and the Mega Evolution lasts 20 seconds.

Is Riolu good in Pokémon Survivors?

On the tier list, built from players’ runs, Riolu is C tier: it beat Mewtwo in 56% of its 149 runs on Normal over the last 30 days.
