'''Arcade Star Dahlia''' (Japanese: '''ルーレットゴーデス ダリア''' ''Roulette Goddess Dahlia'') is the [[Frontier Brain]] in charge of running the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}'s {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Arcade}}. She is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''Arcade Star''' (Japanese: '''ルーレットゴーデス''' ''Roulette Goddess'').

She is the [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Arcade in the [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]] regions. [[Fantina]] is a fan of Dahlia's dancing style. An [[Non-player character|NPC]] inside of the Battle Arcade notes that Dahlia has a peculiar fashion sense.

Dahlia first appears along with her fellow Frontier Brains, Palmer, Thorton, and Argenta in a meeting; afterward they go back to their facilities. Dahlia later appears at her facility, the Battle Arcade, when {{adv|Platinum}} racks up enough wins that will allow her to challenge the Frontier Brain soon. After Platinum wins enough times, she becomes eligible to fight Dahlia. Due to an unexpected earthquake, Platinum is unable to stop the roulette in time and Dahlia does so instead, causing it to land on the Pokémon swap button.

|desc=Dahlia's {{p|Ludicolo}} was used to battle Platinum at the Battle Arcade. However, due to the rules of the Pokémon swap button, it was sent to battle on Platinum's side. It managed to deal heavy damage to Platinum's Rapidash. After that, it was returned to Dahlia.

|desc=Dahlia's {{p|Medicham}} was used to battle Platinum at the Battle Arcade. However, due to the rules of the Pokémon swap button, it was sent to battle on Platinum's side. Medicham was used to defeat Platinum's Rapidash, causing Dahlia to lose the match. After that, it was returned to Dahlia.}}

|desc=Dahlia's {{p|Togekiss}} was used to battle Platinum at the Battle Arcade. However, due to the rules of the Pokémon swap button, it was sent to battle on Platinum's side. In the battle, it was defeated by a single {{m|Focus Blast}} from {{p|Lopunny}}. After that, it was returned to Dahlia.

Togekiss's known moves are {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Aura Sphere}}, {{m|Psychic}}, and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}

|desc={{p|Empoleon}} was one of the Pokémon used in the Battle Frontier. She is Platinum's starter. Prior to the battle, she was given to Dahlia. After the battle, Empoleon was returned to Platinum.}}

|desc={{p|Rapidash}} was one of the Pokémon used in the Battle Frontier. He is Platinum's very first Pokémon. Prior to the battle, he was given to Dahlia. After the battle, Rapidash was returned to Platinum.}}

|desc={{p|Lopunny}} was one of the Pokémon used in the Battle Frontier. Prior to the battle, she was given to Dahlia. After the battle, Lopunny was returned to Platinum.

 

Lopunny's only move known under Dahlia's possession is {{m|Focus Blast}}.}}

* All of the Pokémon she uses for the Gold Print challenge are somehow related to birds.

** As well, all of the held items she has on her Pokémon for the Silver Print somehow affect the holder's speed.

* Dahlia's belt has the Battle Frontier logo on it as a pattern.

* Dahlia shares the same catchphrase with {{an|Dawn}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
