  • Argenta also uses special voice-over lines upon winning a battle with Dahlia on the same team.

Origin

Argenta's design is based on her appearance in Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver. Skarmory is one of several Pokémon Argenta can use in the core series games. The pair may allude to Argenta's name in all languages being based on the plumed cockscomb, or silver cock's comb, as Skarmory is a silver bird Pokémon. Skarmory's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
