I appreciate the answers, but I didn't ask what does sun do in bw. I've been asking for the latest innovations and seemingly it has remained the same as 2-3 years ago.

I can trade you one, hit me up in this discord server: https://discord.gg/hBN5znWD7U
Hello, I have a question half competition half casual.
I need a Landorus-T on my Black 2 version to build a team for playing OU on console. Problem is that it is available from the Radar game and the alternative forms cannot be traded from another save. From all the informations I gathered, the Reveal Glass obtainable from a NPC needs to already have Lando-T, which doesn't help.
So, is there a solution to get this Landorus or is it game over?
As restrictions, I'm using an official cartridge with a New 3DS XL and don't plan to end playing with a ROM or using hacking software on the console.
Thank you in advance!

But as I said, Landorus-T cannot be traded. And I don't have the Glass to turn a basic one into Therian. That's all the problem!
yeah sorry apparently there isn't any legal way to do it. For a sec I thought Therian forms could be traded over but nah you're right :(
Hello, now also trying here:
Would one trade a timid perfect IV Latios in BW? It also can be temporary. I can offer a bunch of RNGed mons, just ask!
I need Latios temporary because I started a battle subway streak and it went further than I ever imagined and now I midstreak want to exchange my rather bad Latios against a perfect one.

TLDR:
Is sub punch abomasnow viable on hail if I pack Starmie and already have CB Mamo and Kyurem Black?
I haven’t ever played BW before but I’ve been listening to BKC’s stuff for a while now and I really enjoyed his vid on the rise of hail, and now his vid on Dragmag’s fall has got me into wanting to use hail. When I was in the builder I wanted to use Kyu B, Mamo, and Aboma on the same team. I settled on CB Mamo and CB Kyu on the same team to have very powerful ice and dragon spamming since I really missed CB Kyu’s wall breaking whenever I switched it to sub mixed. When looking in the builder I noticed I already had an ice sharder on CB Mamo and I thought I could maybe drop it on Aboma. My question is could I try to replicate Kyurem Black’s sub mixed set on Aboma with sub punch lefties? Sounds good to have the mixed sub attacker and then 2 CBers. Then it’s like starmie and jirachi, idk the last. Any problems with this? I would guess it’s outsped by Glisc and just bad stats? Worse into keld or smth? I have this currently:

Idk what last as well. Sorry for the long post.

the team is quite weak into keldeo imo and scarfers in general specially excadrill nothing switches well into it. and idk sub focus punch is pretty bad in a fast paced meta like bw . breloom has used in sometime long ago with spore when sleep was allowed but without sleep is hard to do sub focus punch bc its easy to break subs though if your gonna use sub focus punch aboma i think you should prob stop using special moves entirely and just focus on its atk stat. Id recommend look at other hail teams and try build again instead of just fitting ice mons together just bc it doesnt take dmg from hail

For what it's worth... the idea of Aboma + Kyurem-B is actually good enough that an actual sample teams currently exists with that combo. With Sub Punch Aboma specifically, I can't really tell you whether or not it works but the idea of being able to hit stuff like Tyranitar harder than with Giga Drain sounds nice in theory, but you only 2HKO (with max Attack, without Attack investment it only 3HKOs Tar) it if Chople hasn't been burned already. It might have some potential with something like Alakazam or Reuniclus, but I wouldn't exactly pair it with Mamoswine or Kyurem-B since they don't exactly have issues breaking Tyranitar.
RE: Scizor: Well, the Sample does have HP Fire on Starmie and Abomasnow to deal with Scizor, so this team kind of wants as much coverage for Scizor it can get. Personally I would add Fire Punch on Rachi to make dealing with Scizor much less annoying. I kind of find Healing Wish rather overrated, but that's more of a me issue if anything.
Altough these theory questions are a bit of a waste of time, Pelipper would evidently be better, having Hurricane, Roost, U-turn and Spike immunity.
Stealth rock weakness and worse SDef — I think Politoed would still be plenty viable. It would just give Rain a lot more options. Don’t think we can go too deep into theory here though.
Hi ! Quick question here. I noticed in some games Ferrothorn running Lum berry. While I obviously understand the benefits of healing from status, I was wondering why is Lum better than Rawst berry. Paralysis is troublesome but on a Ferro it's not like it's gonna ruin it totally. Furthermore, para means you can't get burned, so it may be a good way to protect you from scald/wisp, especially if running leech seed.
Is there a specific reason ?
Thanks and sorry if the question has already been asked.

Thanks and sorry if the question has already been asked.
the paralysis can still lose you the game with full paralysis and you dont see many teams with paralysis and burn so the upside isnt great. also the rare freeze is a slight benefit of lum. rawst can be used though if you had a twave so latios tricking doesnt remove the paralysis.
Why are there Pokestar sets in the BW Smogdex?
