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]]''
 
Argenta has these Pokémon when she is challenged for the Gold Print:


* '''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.
* '''Random each time''': ''[[List of Battle Hall Pokémon#Group 4|List of Argenta's possible Pokémon]]''
::The level of Argenta's Pokémon will always be set to match that of the player's.
