Argenta (Japanese: ケイト Kate) is the Frontier Brain in charge of running the Battle Frontier's Battle Hall. She is the only character in the games to have the Trainer class Hall Matron (Japanese: ステージマドンナ Stage Madonna).
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
When challenged for the Silver Print, Argenta will use a Pokémon that has a 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: Used if the player's Pokémon has a Base Stat Total below 340
- Random each time: Used if player's Pokémon has a Base Stat Total between 340 and 439
- Random each time: Used if player's Pokémon has a Base Stat Total between 440 and 499
- Random each time: 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: List of Argenta's possible Pokémon
- The level of Argenta's Pokémon will always be set to match that of the player's.

In the manga
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 Battle Frontier going down. After Thorton is defeated by 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 Dragonite proved powerful but was eventually defeated by Platinum's Froslass.
