Wonder Launcher
The Wonder Launcher (Japanese: ミラクルシューター Miracle Shooter) is a new multiplayer battle feature introduced in Black and White. During a multiplayer battle, if both players have the Wonder Launcher enabled, they will be able to purchase the use of certain items using points that are accumulated each turn. Unlike in-game battles, the player cannot use items from his or her bag; instead, there is a select set of items available to the player, including several items exclusive to the Wonder Launcher.
Each item has a certain point value which must be paid in order to use the item. At the start of their turn, the player gains one point to use or accumulate.
During Wonder Launcher battles, the player characters have alternate sprites. The Wonder Launcher itself is something worn around the wrist, similar to the Fine Styler, and that shoots items at a Pokémon during battle.

The Wonder Launcher style of battling made a cameo appearance at the beginning of Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"! as part of a movie named Wonder Fighters. In the clip shown to Ash, Iris, and Cilan, two Trainers battled using a Golurk and an Escavalier and used the Wonder Launchers to give their Pokémon more energy.
Cilan had to find a Wonder Launcher as part of a scavenger hunt in BW069.
Another Wonder Launcher was briefly seen in BW070.
