How to find, catch and evolve Riolu, and where to find the Alpha Lucario in the Alabaster Icelands.
Riolu
Riolu
Type: 
To find Riolu, first head to the fifth area: the Alabaster Icelands. Then make your way to the Icebound Falls, located to the left of the Snowpoint Camp. To reach this area more easily, it is recommended to use the mounts Hisuian Braviary and Sneasler. In front of the Icebound Falls, you will find a Riolu. Lure it with a berry, then catch it with a Poké Ball! You will easily find tall grass around it to hide in.
If you want to evolve it into Lucario, raise its friendship to the maximum and evolve it during the day. To increase its friendship, you need to make it battle, have it pick up resources and keep it in your party.
