About Lucario
Lucario cards often look dynamic and high in contrast. Compared with the first-generation classics, the choice is smaller, so a page fills up more quickly.

How to plan a Lucario binder
At nine pockets per page, all 59 cards would fill about 7 pages. For a gift that is far too much: a single page of nine different designs looks finished at once, and the collection can be extended later.
Riolu cards are separate Pokémon and do not count towards the Lucario binder.
Which binder size fits is covered in the Pokémon binders: which size and how many pockets?.
