The player must defeat all types at least 10 times before challenging her again and again.

- Random each time. She could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. These include Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. Additionally, the Trainer cannot choose the Pokémon type.

But understand that one shines the brightest when a challenge is overcome. I am Argenta, and I am your final and most daunting challenge. I dare you to overcome my challenge."
- Being defeated
- "Oh...I detest how fun times seem to end so quickly."

- Rematch
- Before battle
- "Well! My goodness, your Pokémon... It's got star power beyond belief. Even from inside its Poké Ball, I can feel its charismatic brilliance. But I'm the Hall Matron. I'll be the judge of that. I must battle it for myself and see if that brilliance is genuine. That is why we must battle now."
- Being defeated
- "It's so sad how the truly fun times seem to last only a moment."
- After being defeated
