Where to Find Riolu in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Riolu is a rare Pokémon and can only be found in the southmost part of Paldea. More specifically, Riolu can only be found around the South Province (Area 4) portion of the map. In our case, we managed to find a few Riolus, as well as catch one in South Province (Area 4), in an area located directly below Los Platos and between the area and Poco Path. At the time, Riolu was at level 21.

If you are already at a high enough level, it may be more fitting for you to just catch a Lucario. With that said, although we managed to get our Lucario by evolving Riolu, the Pokémon can be found in the northeast portion of Paldea, more specifically around the North Province (Area Two) and the East Province (Area Three) areas. It’s important to point out that Lucario is an extremely rare spawn, so it may take a few tries until you are able to spot one.
