==In the games==
'''Argenta''' (Japanese: '''ケイト''' ''Kate'') is the [[Frontier Brain]] in charge of running the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}'s [[Battle Hall]]. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Hall Matron''' (Japanese: '''ステージマドンナ''' ''Stage Madonna'').
[[Image:KatePlatinum.gif|thumb|left|Sprite image of Argenta from {{game|Platinum}}]]
 
She is the [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Hall in the [[Sinnoh]] region.
==In the core series games==
Argenta is the [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Hall in the [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]] regions. She can be challenged after 50 consecutive battles, which is unique as all other Frontier Brains can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Argenta can be challenged again after 170 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. The player must defeat all types at least 10 times before challenging her again and again.
 
===Pokémon===
===Pokémon===
In {{game|Platinum}}, Argenta has these Pokémon when she is challenged for the silver and gold print:
When challenged for the Silver Print, Argenta will use a Pokémon that has a [[List of Pokémon by base stats (Generation II-V)|base stat total]] similar to the one used by the player. These Pokémon are the same as the Pokémon used by ordinary trainers in the Battle Hall.
* '''Random each time''': ''[[List of Battle Hall Pokémon#Group 1|Used if the player's Pokémon has a Base Stat Total below 340]]''
* '''Random each time''': ''[[List of Battle Hall Pokémon#Group 2|Used if player's Pokémon has a Base Stat Total between 340 and 439]]''
* '''Random each time''': ''[[List of Battle Hall Pokémon#Group 3|Used if player's Pokémon has a Base Stat Total between 440 and 499]]''
* '''Random each time''': ''[[List of Battle Hall Pokémon#Group 4|Used if player's Pokémon has a Base Stat Total of 500 or higher]]''


* '''Random each time'''. She could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. These include {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Additionally, the Trainer cannot choose the Pokémon type.
Argenta has these Pokémon when she is challenged for the Gold Print:


===Quotes===
* '''Random each time''': ''[[List of Battle Hall Pokémon#Group 4|List of Argenta's possible Pokémon]]''
====First battle====
::The level of Argenta's Pokémon will always be set to match that of the player's.
Before the battle: <br>
''My Battle Hall allows Trainers to mount challenges with their one favorite Pokémon. I imagine there were tense moments getting here with your chosen one. But understand that one shines the brightest when a challenge is overcome. I am Argenta, and I am your final and most daunting challenge. I dare you to overcome my challenge.''


After the battle: <br>
==In the spin-off games==
''Oh...I detest how fun times seem to end so quickly.''
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Argenta (Masters)}}
Argenta forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Skarmory}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Her Skarmory is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Argenta became a playable sync pair on September 18, 2023.


''A good Trainer doesn't force their favorite on anyone. A good one keeps with their favorite without drama or fanfare. That is how I see it, at least. And, by the way I see it, you're an excellent Trainer! Be sure to visit the Battle Hall again with a favorite Pokémon. Until then, bye-bye!''
Argenta first appeared as an NPC during the [[story event]] [[Tower Tycoon and Hall Matron]].


====Second battle====

''Well! My goodness, your Pokémon... It's got star power beyond belief. Even from inside its Poké Ball, I can feel its charismatic brilliance. But I'm the Hall Matron. I'll be the judge of that. I must battle it for myself and see if that brilliance is genuine. That is why we must battle now.''

''You must never forget there is a place where everyone can shine. That goes for any kind of Pokémon, too. Spread that message in your own words. It's one everyone should hear. And now, having lost, this lady has nothing left to say at all, but... Bye-bye!''

[[File:Thorton Argenta Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Argenta in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Argenta first appears along with her fellow [[Frontier Brains]], [[Palmer]], [[Dahlia]], and [[Thorton]] in a meeting; afterward they go back to their facilities. Argenta, along with Palmer, is seen trying to investigate the communication system of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} going down. After Thorton is defeated by {{adv|Platinum}}, she slaps him out of the temper tantrum he was throwing.
 
Later, at the [[Battle Hall]], Argenta faces Platinum in the final match. Her {{p|Dragonite}} proved powerful but was eventually defeated by [[Platinum's Froslass]].
