Though infantile in appearance, it has the mysterious ability to read the minds of humans. The pure of heart are met with Riolu's approval, while those of ill nature earn only its loathing.
It can use waves called auras to gauge how others are feeling. These same waves can also tell this Pokémon about the state of the environment.
It’s exceedingly energetic, with enough stamina to keep running all through the night. Taking it for walks can be a challenging experience.
It uses waves called auras to communicate with others of its kind. It doesn’t make any noise during this time, so its enemies can’t detect it.
It knows how people and Pokémon feel by looking at their auras. It doesn’t approach dangerous opponents.
It’s tough enough to run right through the night, and it’s also a hard worker, but it’s still just a youngster.
