Pokemon Mixed Breeds: Riolu

So my last Mixed Breeds meme was pretty successful, and a couple of you wanted to see mixed breeds of Riolu, so here he is!

Someone suggested that I try a different coloring approach, so I tried it out. It was a little tedious though, as I first had to take the RGB values of the two parent Pokemon's coat colors, convert said colors to html values, place the html values on a color mixer, then get the rgb value of the mixed color hue that I liked. I also tried a slightly different shading approach, which may or may not just end up being for this drawing only.

Anyway, the breeds are different here. Because Riolu himself is unable to breed, the parents are Lucario + the final form of the other parent, which is why they appear on the bottom of their titles instead of their base forms. Additionally, they come with detailed descriptions.

Foresight Pup: / (Inner Focus/Synchronize) / Its lower limbs are underdeveloped from birth, so it moves around by levitating. Its aura sensors are much more sensitive than those of a regular Riolu, and some even claim that it's foreseeing the immediate future when its sensors are raised.

Chubby Pup: / (Inner Focus/Thick Fat) / While Hariyama is a pure Fighting type, this breed of Riolu still gains the Steel type upon evolution. Trainers of all skill levels covet this breed for its heightened bulk and physically offensive powers, and its aptitude for resisting Fire attacks better than its purebred counterpart.

Martial Pup: / (Steadfast/Regenerator) / This breed stands shorter than the purebred Riolu. However, its size is advantageous in battle, since it couples with its speed to effectively evade hits. It also confounds its opponents with said speed.

Shellfish Pup: / (Steadfast/Shell Armor) / This new breed has recently surfaced in the Unova region; a couple ranch owners have noted that the Riolus in their area have undergone a mutation after being exposed to the bred Oshawotts in Prof. Juniper's Starter Pokemon Program. This breed favors shell weapons and is on par with Oshawott's evolutionary line in terms of skillfully wielding them.

Brawny Pup: / (Inner Focus/Iron Fist) / This breed gains the Dark type upon evolution. Its unruly, disagreeable nature makes him a challenge for novice trainers to tame, but is also the most loyal and reliable of breeds. As such, patience is required to earn its trust.

Prankster Pup: / (Justified/Imposter) / This breed cannot shapeshift like purebred Zorua, and instead shapeshifts after it's sent out. Some cannot shapeshift at all, a conundrum which breeders and experts have yet to decipher.

Sharpened Pup: / (Inner Focus/Sniper) / This breed is often mistaken for a premature Lucario, due to its prevalent Steel-type properties. Its attack and speed is higher than the purebred Riolu, but this increase comes at the expense of its defenses, making him the glass cannon of the bunch. Trainers must take extra care of this breed to avoid any possible accidents.

Fluffy Pup: / (Steadfast/Klutz) / Coordinators favor this breed for its manageable appearance. Some even say that judges are more likely to nominate trainers who use this breed in contests, but that's yet to be proven. It's also highly acrobatic and skilled at leaping, allowing it to evade hits skillfully and even keep up with flying opponents.
