Please reach out if you have any questions or know of any cards I have missed. I’m always happy to have a chat! My main collection thread is here. And thank you to my friend @citriina for letting me yoink aspects of your spreadsheet template to make this new version of my sheet easier to look at for multiple languages! And as always, a big thanks to the species collecting community on Discord for the help and company!
Still working on:
-Completing The List, and adding resources for every card, including release dates
-My binder order
-Finishing my list of research resources. I have a lot I still haven’t put in there for my own future reference.
Front Page Tracker
I’ve sorted it to track by language separately for Riolu and Lucario. The bar shows progress on the language, with the lighter shade indicating things on order. They don’t contribute to the final total until they are in hand.
I also include official sleeves, coins (mainline TCG), and jumbo cards. Riley is a side project for me, as Riley, Sir Aaron, and the concept of Aura Guardians was a big spark in what started my love for Lucario.
I have tabs for each aspect of the collection as well to make it easier to sift through!
Riolu and Lucario Collection
I separate Riolu and Lucario into their own tabs so cards are easier to find. It’s sorted by English release date. Green means I have it in hand, yellow means it is on order, and red means I don’t have it.
I have also included notes in every cell that does not have a card for it. You can spot them by the black triangle on the cell. I include things like release information or how confident I am in something not existing. Some are quite interesting, and you might just learn something new!
I use the comment function when I need to come back for some reason. This can include getting eyes on the card, release information, card variant, set picture, etc. I like doing this because it shows on the pages tab how many comments there are. So I know how much more work needs to be done. You can spot comments by seeing a red cell with a yellow triangle in the corner.
The List
This section is a side project for me. I like to link to a direct source for the card and have a specific, correct release date. If something is underlined, it has a link to a resource! If it’s red, I need to come back and find a resource or better information on the release date. It’s a big WIP and is just my leftover list from when I was just working on the English master set plus stamps in other languages. I will flesh it out in the future!
Sleeves
I like collecting the official sleeves to have more cool art you can’t get on the cards. I have listed every official Riolu/Lucario sleeve.
Coins
The mainline TCG coins are very nostalgic for me, I still have the one my friend gave me as a kid from the Retort Theme Deck! I have listed all official mainline TCG coins here.
Jumbo
I need to come back and add all the multi language jumbos, but it’s a side project for me. I don’t particularly enjoy jumbo cards! I dont think I’ll ever finish collecting them all.
Riley
I aim to get all of Sir Aaron’s and Riley’s cards as well! They mean a lot to me since they have a lot to do with Lucario both in the games, and in the media.
Standard Dog Unit (SDU)
This is something silly I started tracking back when I first started collecting in 2016/2017. It’s just how many things I own, in hand, at any given time that has Riolu or Lucario on it. I keep a dated log of when I get things! I started tracking it properly again in 2025.
are lovely at-a-glance encapsulations of your collection and overall progress. I especially love the separate trackers for Riolu and Lucario, and it makes me so happy that you’ve taken aspects of my work over the years too- hooray for information sharing!
