She appears as a miniboss in four games: PCB, PoFV, GFW and HSiFS, so she definitely counts.

Pokémon: Lily White (Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom)
Type: Grass/Fairy
Ability: Herald of Spring
Signature Ability: Herald of Spring- Cannot be copied, disabled or removed. The user takes 1/4 damage from Ice-type moves, but double damage from Fire-type moves. Allied Grass-type Pokemon are immune to stat lowering effects and status ailments. Upon switching in, removes all weather effects. In a Double/Triple Battle, activates any allied Pokemon's Flower Gift ability.
Notable moves: Aromatherapy, Wish, Healing Wish, Recover, Surprise Spring, Dazzling Gleam, U-Turn, Petal Dance, Petal Blizzard.
Signature move: Surprise Spring- Sets up a unique "Spring Veil" screen, which is a clone of Aurora Veil, but requires there to be no weather to activate, and lasts until a weather effect enters play (or another screen-removing effect such as Brick Break or Defog is used). Spring Veil also activates any allied Pokemon's Flower Gift ability.
Stats: 70 HP/50 Atk/80 Def/50 SpA/80 SpD/80 Spe (BST: 410)
Reasoning: Lily White is the Fairy Herald of Spring, a recurring Midboss without any voiced lines who first appeared as the Stage 4 Midboss of Perfect Cherry Blossom. A generally very cheerful person, she mostly only attacks the player characters out of sheer excitement and enthusiasm in announcing Spring and isn't all that aggressive, hence her Pikachu-tier bad offensive stats. Rather, Lily is a pure supporter, using moves like Aromatherapy, Wish and U-Turn to support her teammates (Some of these are generic and related to plants [which Lily can make bloom], though U-Turn in particular is based on her tendency to come and go even in the Danmaku shooters [Especially PoFV]), but the biggest boon for weatherless teams (and the main reason to use Lily White to begin with is absolutely her signature move, Surprise Spring. Named after her single and only spell card in the series, this acts as a weatherless counterpart to Aurora Veil, and lasts until any other weather effect enters play. This would be broken on anything not named Lily White, but it's directly related to her ability to announce spring, making the others feel the warmth of Spring. This broken support move is a move designed specifically to make up for Lily's sheer and utter passivity, and her not-so-great defensive typing (not to mention being almost worthless against Weather Teams which shut down Spring Veil, and also being vulnerable to Defog). Lastly, since Lily's presence causes flowers to bloom, this also triggers Cherrim's Flower Gift.
Lily's unique ability is Herald of Spring, named for her title. It's an enhanced version of Flower Veil which also removes weather effects and grants Lily resistance to Ice-type moves, which are often associated with Winter. As Lily is a fairy who heralds the end of winter and the coming of spring, these two effects make sense (especially if Lily removes Hail). However, the ability also is a double-edged sword, as it gives Lily a double weakness to Fire-type moves. Also, like with Spring Veil, Lily herself, through her ability, can automatically activate Cherrim's Flower Gift in a Double Battle.
