Riolu S 280/190 is a secret-rare Japanese Pokémon TCG trading card from the SV4a “Shiny Treasure ex” set (released late 2023). Illustrated by Sowsow, the card shows Riolu in its shiny form (bright yellow fur with orange highlights) against a swirling rainbow holo-silver background filled with starburst sparkles. As a Fighting-type Basic with 70 HP and straightforward attacks (“Punch” 10 and “Thrust” 50), its power is modest; collectors buy it mainly for the striking holo artwork and rare foil finish rather than tournament play. Fans of Riolu (and the Gen IV Lucario family) will appreciate the nostalgic vibe, and the card’s glossy foil and star motifs make it a standout collectible. Notably, this is Riolu’s first Shiny print in the TCG (the original Riolu appeared in the Scarlet & Violet base set), making it a unique new variant for collectors.
