The main problem, for me at least, is that she is so dead set on being useless that she actively thwarts the laws set in place by the game to do it. Basically, she's stupid. Not unintelligent, but stupid, for refusing to learn. You'd think after the first time or two of her being put into mortal peril, she'd realize keeping Pokemon isn't just for cockfighting, but to actually protect yourself in case some faggot wants to wreck your shit, and that it might actually be a good idea to keep a few. Instead, she stubbornly and belligerently keeps expecting other people to do her dirty work, then apologizes afterwards as if that makes it square, and does it with the full expectation that it WILL happen again, because she isn't going to do anything differently. She doesn't decide "Hm, I'm probably going to get in another fight if I continue down this path, maybe I should get some protection, or do things in a way that doesn't invite conflict!", no, she decides "I'm going to continue starting fights and do nothing to be able to handle them myself, because Hau, Kantokid, or someone else will fix it!" Then the game bends around her to decide "Okay, this cavern is one of the hardest trials a trainer can go through, and only talented veterans go there, but fuck it, Lillie just strolls through".
Couple this with the focus the game places on her, and you get a mess that smells terribly of Sue. The most important thing in the universe is apparently all the whining this entitled little piece of shit does and the refusal to adapt to her surroundings, which implies an expectation that others will do the work for her. Nonchalant entitlement and stupidity are probably the features of a character I despise most. And remember "Stupid" doesn't mean "unintelligent". It means an active refusal to learn.
Plus, she's boring. That's probably the most damning of all.
