About This Card

Known in Japan as Riolu (リオル), this is the Art Rare printing of Riolu from Japanese Mega Brave (M1L), illustrated by hncl. Numbered 068/063, it sits past the main set checklist — placing it firmly in the Secret Rare tier of the expansion. This card has quickly become a community favorite for its uniquely vertical, narrative layout: hncl’s artwork comically depicts an energetic Riolu standing high atop a bright red tower lookout, striking a fighting stance as it surveys a sweeping, dense cityscape below. This copy holds a CGC 8.5 NM/Mint+ grade — superb physical condition and beautiful overall eye appeal, with only tiny, microscopic imperfections such as a minor centering variation or an unnoticeable factory edge nick keeping it from a flat 9. It represents excellent value for collectors seeking a certified, protected display piece without paying a premium price, sealed in a tamper-evident CGC slab with verified certification number #6153664244.
