History

Young Lily

Lily made her debut appearance in the Pokémon the Series: The Beginning episode The Water Flowers of Cerulean City along with Misty's other sisters. She and her sisters participate in the water shows hosted by the Cerulean Gym. She is also one of the three temporary Leaders of Cerulean Gym. She, along with her other two sisters, refused to battle with Ash Ketchum due to their Pokémon being injured from their defeats against the other three Trainers from Pallet Town. The only remaining Pokémon that was healthy enough to battle was a Goldeen that Lily owned.

She made many more appearances along with Daisy and Violet in future episodes as well as in Pokémon Chronicles.

Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver

Prior to Just Add Water, Lily and her sisters met a young Trainer named Dorian who was inspired by the Cerulean Gym to create his own Gym in Johto.

In Gotta Catch Ya Later!, she left on a cruise with her sisters, leaving Misty to take temporary charge of the Gym.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Lily and her sisters going out on vacation in Alola, Kanto!

Lily, along with Daisy and Violet, reappeared in a fantasy during the Poké Problem segment of Alola, Kanto!, where the Spectacular Sisters ditched the Gym to go on a trip, leaving Misty in charge of everything. She reappeared again in the same capacity in Alola, Alola!, although Misty revealed she had Lily and the others take over Gym duties while she was in Alola.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Lily appeared in a fantasy in A Fated Face-Off!. Misty revealed that upon leaving on a new journey after Ash's victory in the World Coronation Series, she left the Gym in the care of her sisters.

Lily reappeared in a flashback in Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!.

Character

Lily and Violet tend to tease Misty more often than Daisy. Throughout The Water Flowers of Cerulean City, she often teases Misty for not being a strong Trainer like they are, and for not being as pretty as them. She even labels Misty as a runt in comparison. Unlike her other sisters, she truly doesn't believe Misty is a powerful Trainer and has absolutely no faith in her during the start of her Gym battle with Ash. As the battle progresses, however, she does admit that Misty has some talent as a Pokémon Trainer. When Ash and Misty set out on their journey, she encourages Misty to become a strong Trainer so that she can become good at something.

Like her other sisters, she cares mostly about her looks. They demonstrated this by caring more about their hair than their Pokémon during an attack by Team Rocket. They also don't like losing to the challengers at their Gym and would rather just give away their Gym Badge instead of losing. Lily is also very childlike and carefree. During the water shows hosted by the Gym, she is shown to prefer playing boyish roles, whereas Violet plays the more girlish ones.

Trivia

• Lily was the only known one of Sensational Sisters that had a Pokémon left at the time of Ash's arrival, not including the Pokémon that were already in the gym.
• In Pocket Monsters: The Animation, it is mentioned that Lily, Daisy, and Violet's natural hair-colors are actually black, and that their pink, blonde, and blue hair were wigs that they wore during their shows. The same source also reveals that they were themselves orphaned at a young age due to their parents abandoning them thanks to the harsh regulations of being a Gym Leader.
• Before battling Lily in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!; the word glamorous is misspelled as glamourous.
