Where to find Riolu in Pokemon GO


Pokemon Go has many Pokemon that can either be found in the wild or can only be obtained by hatching an egg. Lucario is never seen in the wild, so obtaining it is only possible by getting Riolu from an egg and using rare candies to evolve it into Lucario. Here, you will know how to get Lucario in Pokemon Go.

Since Lucario does not spawn in the wild, players can only acquire it by hatching an egg. A fully evolved Lucario is not produced from an egg. It is enough to obtain 2km, 7km, and 10km eggs from PokeStops, or to receive Gift Eggs, and then wait for Riolu, Lucario's pre-evolution form, to hatch from one of your eggs.

Hatching a Riolu from an egg is also highly rare, with just 0.7 percent of 7km and 10km eggs hatching. This will include a large number of eggs and incubators. Riolu can be hatched at the highest level by using Adventure Sync 50-km reward Eggs. This is due to the fact that only a few species of Pokemon hatch from these, so Riolu has a fair chance of becoming one of them.

  • How to Find (& Catch) Lucario in Pokémon GO

Lucario is one of the most popular Pokémon. In Pokémon GO, it is extremely rare and can only be evolved from Egg-exclusive Riolu.

Lucario in Pokemon GO

Since its explosive release in 2016, Pokémon GO has consistently added new Pokémon that will spawn in a player's own neighborhood. While players are most likely to encounter common Pokémon like Rattata and Pidgey, there are also plenty of chances to find a rarer spawn at gathering places in the neighborhood. One Pokémon a player may likely have yet to encounter is Lucario. This fighting- and steel-type Pokémon was added back in 2018 and is a massive fan favorite, to the point that players were spending real money to get one.

While this is one viable option, it is not the most cost-effective or sensible. Instead, players looking to find and catch Lucario will have better luck strapping on their favorite pair of walking shoes and taking advantage of nice weather. Lucario requires players to incubate quite a few eggs, hatch its pre-evolution, and evolve it. Here's how to find and catch (or, in this case, hatch and evolve) Lucario in Pokémon GO.

Find Lucario in Pokémon GO

Lucario Battle in Pokemon Sword & Shield

There have not been reports of Lucario spawning in the wild. This means it is only obtainable by hatching an egg. Unfortunately, players cannot hatch a fully evolved Lucario directly from an Egg. Instead, they will need to grab 2km, 7km, and 10km eggs from PokéStops, or receive Gift Eggs, and hope to hatch Riolu, Lucario's pre-evolution.

Riolu is extremely rare, with a mere 0.7% hatch rate from 7km and 10km eggs. This would take an average player a minimum of 143 eggs to finally find. They'll also need to invest in nearly 50 incubators at least if they plan to hatch this rare baby Pokémon.

Players will have the highest chance of hatching Riolu from Adventure Sync 50-km reward Eggs. Because few species of Pokémon spawn from these, there is a much greater chance Riolu will be in one.

Riolu's Card for Pokemon GO

Because Lucario cannot be caught in the wild and can only be evolved, players will need to get their Riolu first. Each of the Eggs is largely up to chance, and because Riolu has such a low spawn rate, there is no way to guarantee a player will be able to get Lucario.

If a player does manage to hatch Riolu from an Egg, they can evolve it into Lucario using Candy. It takes 50 Rare Candy to evolve Riolu into Lucario, so players will want to save up.

Unfortunately, players may need to spend real money to finally get their hands on a Lucario in Pokémon GO. They may also want to try to participate in as many events as possible to take advantage of any improved chances to nab this extremely rare and popular Pokémon.
