Pokemon white 2 riolu evolution

Riolu evolves into Lucario when it has high friendship and levels up during the daytime in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

Game context

Friendship rises through several in-game actions and can fall through others. A level-up at night will not meet the daytime condition.

Mechanics and story

Friendship rises through walking, leveling, and certain care actions, while fainting or bitter items can lower it. Once friendship is high, a daytime level-up triggers evolution. This is separate from a stone or trade evolution, so check the party’s time-of-day setting.

Version-specific notes

Riolu’s friendship can be checked through in-game characters or tools, depending on the game. The required level-up must occur during daytime. This method differs from evolving many Pokémon by item, trade, or location.

Details to verify

Game details can vary by title, update, platform, or mod. Check the exact game version for current mechanics.
