Art of the Wonder Launcher by Ken Sugimori

The Wonder Launcher (Japanese: ミラクルシューター Miracle Shooter) is a multiplayer battle feature only in Generation V. 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.

During Wonder Launcher battles, the player characters have alternate sprites. The Wonder Launcher itself is something worn around the wrist, similarly to the Fine Styler, and shoots items in the form of discs at a Pokémon during battle.

Wonder Launcher items

Unlike in-game battles, the player cannot use items from their 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, or two points if the player is in a Triple Battle and has fewer than three Pokémon on their side of the field. A player cannot have more than 14 points.

Wonder Launcher items are often simply different versions of regular items such as Potions, Revives, and battle items like X Attacks. However, there are also new items, such as upgraded versions of battle items, labelled by their level afterwards; for example, X Defend 2.
