Lillie (Japanese: リーリエ Lilie) is a character introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, she serves as one of the player character's friends and traveling companions during the course of the game. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, she eventually becomes a Pokémon Trainer, specializing in Fairy-type Pokémon.

Lillie is first revealed as a mysterious girl who is central to the plot of Pokémon Sun and Moon. She assists, and is shown to live with, Professor Kukui for personal reasons. She really dislikes Pokémon battles and does not like seeing Pokémon get hurt, instead she loves to read and is in fact a very cultured girl. At the beginning of the story, Lillie comes off as shy, fearful and has little self-confidence. Lillie specifically seems to have a fear of heights, and avoids conflict. She lives in the Pokémon Research Lab's loft, where she sleeps on a blue sofa bed, Lillie does not allow anyone up there, preferring her privacy. This loft also includes a diary, another instances of being private and introverted. Despite this, Lillie is actually a very kind, helpful and supportive person, often giving the player healing items, showing them around locations, or giving them advice on how to use certain items. In comparison to her friends, she often takes things more seriously, misunderstanding humor and being called a "stick in the sand" by Hau. She enjoys history, shopping, and fashion. According to Pokémon Masters EX, she has an interest in writing. In the same game, it is also mentioned that she does not enjoy sleeping alone and previously had cuddled her Poké Doll, to avoid being scared at night.

Lillie's dialogue changes based on the language the game is read in. In her Japanese dialogue, she uses watakushi, a personal pronoun used to be polite. However, in English media, she instead speaks more softly and avoids slang. An example of this is her relationship with Professor Kukui, calling him by his full name and title or simply calling him "the professor", as opposed to most characters referring to him as just "Kukui."

Over the course of the Alola-based games, Lillie begins to gain confidence, learning to enjoy what it is like to become a Pokémon Trainer and starts to overcome her fears. Due to her relationship with the player, Lillie consistently wears a smile on her face, in which her brother, Gladion, states "I never knew she could smile like that." She cherishes the friendships and connections she makes, holding onto memories tightly. Lillie tends to act motherly and protective towards her Cosmog, Nebby.

Lillie's known relatives include her mother Lusamine (The president of Aether Foundation), her father Mohn and her older brother, Gladion. Lillie's maternal grandfather goes unnamed, however it is noted that he was a wealthy man who loved Pokémon and had built the Aether Foundation. Lillie is not from Alola, residing in Aether Paradise until she had left with Nebby. She currently resides in Hau'oli Outskirts' Pokémon Research Lab on Melemele Island with Professor Kukui and his wife, Professor Burnet, who she views as parental figures.

Lillie is a teenage girl. Her hair is long and blonde. In both of her designs in Generation VII, her bangs fall over her forehead, with her side bangs framing her face and ending at her cheeks. Lillie has large circular eyes, with two eyelashes on each. She has thin blonde eye brows and her eyes have bright green irises. Her blonde hair and green eyes are traits that she shares with her parents and brother.

Lillie first appears with a white, large and round sunhat with a pale blue ribbon tied around the scalp. Her hat has three holes on the front, the one in the middle being slightly larger, this symbol also appears on Gladion's design. She wears her long blonde hair downward, with two braided strands of hair over lapping her shoulders, these braids are heart shaped and sectioned off in threes. Lillie has a matching sleeveless sundress that goes with her hat, this dress is long and flows down to her knees. The dress ends in 6 rounded ends that resembles flower petals. Each "petal" includes similar holes that are found on the front of her hat. Multiple seams reach down from her collar and armholes to the sides of each petal. Her dress collar is pale blue and folds over her shoulders. Underneath the dress is a pale blue, translucent, frilly decoration that is the same shape as the "flower" section of her dress, there is also 6 more rounded ends that are asymmetrical to the first round of petals. Lillie wears long white tube socks that end below her knees, these tube socks match her dress collar, ending with blue frills. She wears pale blue dress shoes, with the same decorative holes that her dress and hat have—three holes on the toes. Lillie carries a giant gray barrel bag around throughout the game, in which she keeps Nebby inside. This drum bag has black straps, a red shoulder pad and black handles with a zipper on the front to place items, such as Repels in. On each long end of the bag, there is a Poké Ball-like marking on it, with black stripes reaching from one side to the other, connecting to the handles. This appearance of Lillie is used as her main stock-art for Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Lillie's mother had picked the outfit for Lillie to wear. Because of this, the outfit causes Lillie to bear a resemblance to that of the Ultra Beast, Nihilego, a Pokémon that Lusamine was obsessed with. </Lillie's first outfit>

<Lillie's "Z-Powered form" outfit>

During the second half of the Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon games, Lillie learns to gain more self confidence and pride, causing her to change the look of her appearance. This outfit is officially referred to as Lively Lillie (Japanese: がんばリーリエ Good Luck Lillie) in certain promotional material, merchandise, and in the Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: Super Music Collection. However, Lillie herself, calls it her Z-Powered form (Japanese: 全力の姿 full-powered form). In this appearance, she sports her hair in a high-ponytail, with the braids tying around the base, and part of her bangs hanging off the sides of her head. She now wears an outfit that she bought on her own in Malie City. The top half of her outfit consists of a white-colored, short-sleeved hooded blouse with frills on the sleeves and at the waist area. The hood and drawstrings on her blouse are colored the same pale-blue as her previously worn dress. She also wears a pleated skirt with multiple frills and one thin pale blue stripe that wraps around it. Her socks match the "puffiness" of her blouse and wrap around her shins. Lillie now also sports white platform shoes with blue soles. The shoes have an opening on the front with a tongue leading up to her ankles, tied with a single strap that ends with a round button. The soles' heels are slightly raised in the back, slightly increasing Lillie's height. Replacing the duffel bag she used to carry around Cosmog, she now carries a round, pink rucksack on her back. The backpack has two long pink straps that reach from the top to the bottom of the bag, going over her shoulders. The backpack has a single opening on the top that's tied with a white ribbon in order to close and open it. The rucksack also includes three white ovals, resembling the same symbol that is found on her sundress. The artwork released for Lillie for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon borrows elements from this appearance. </Lillie's "Z-Powered form" outfit>

Lillie specializes on Fairy-type Pokemon. Her Pokemon includes Snowy the Alolan Ninetales, Nebby the Solgaleo, Clefairy, Ribombee, Comfey and Shiny Primarina. She also owns a shiny Magearna which was once owned by her father Mohn. Snowy can use the Z-Move "Subzero Slammer" and Clefairy can use the Z-Move "Twinkle Tackle".

During her and her brother's Gladion's childhood, their father Mohn disappeared in Ultra Space during an experimentation, which caused their mother Lusamine to become obsessed with finding him so that she began to neglect her children and tried to use a Cosmog named Nebby to open the Ultra Wormhole to find Mohn. Lillie rescued Nebby and took it away from Aether Paradise, the Aether Foundation's office. Lillie is later taken in by Professor Kukui and his wife Professor Burnet. Lillie would become an assistant of Kukui. During her journeys in Alola, Lillie met new friends like Elio (A boy who moved from Kanto to Alola and would later become Alola's first champion), Selene (A female trainer who is an another one of Kukui's assistants and is a big nature lover) and Hau. (The grandson of Melemele Island's kahuna Hala. Hau dreams of becoming a great trainer and kahuna like his grandfather Hala.)

Later on, Lillie, Gladion and their friends encountered Lusamine in a state of being combined with a Nihilego to become the Mother Beast. The group were able to defeat Lusamine and bring her back to her senses. After everything is cleared, Lillie, Gladion and Lusamine decided to go on a journey to find Mohn. They would later discover him at the Crown Tundra in Galar region, being taken care by a shiny Nihilego. Unfortunately, Mohn have amnesia from the incident, making him being unable to remember his family. But with help of Lillie and Gladion's friends Elio, Selene and Hau, they were able to make Mohn's memories of his family come back and the family are together again.
