Battle Frontier (Japanese: バトルフロンティア Batoru Furontia exact) is the fourth opening theme song of the Japanese Advanced Generation Pokémon anime series and the ninth total opening for the Pokémon television anime.
It debuted in AG135, replacing Pokémon Symphonic Medley. Its singer, 髙屋亜希那 Akina Tayaka, is a relatively unknown artist. It debuted at the same time as a new ending, Pokémon Counting Song. The instruments-only version replaced the instrumental verison of Advance Adventure in episode 135 in the Japanese preview of the next episode.
It was also used as the Pokémon Sunday ending from PS053 onwards.
