And good luck with riolu it took me forever to breed a shiny, like seriously 40+ tries, i was starting to get pissed. If i could offer some advice you will likely need a shiny ditto since one of the parents must be shiny or the baby will have zero chance unless your using two riolus, and even then you have one percent. It is highly advisable to use incenses in this situation, with a shiny ditto and both parents holding incense you increase your odds to 1/10.
