I don't think there's anything for forum feedback (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but if think there's a bug on Showdown, you can report it here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/bug-reports-v2-0-read-op-before-posting.3469932/

Make sure to read the first and second post before you post so that you know if your report is compliant with the OP. In particular, if you can't connect to Showdown, you don't need to report it.
 
Can somebody explain why azu is considered a check to rain? I understand it beats kingdra,pert,omastar, torn t, and heracross(non bullet seed) 1v1 but it'll most likely not get more than 1 kill and rain often has scizor or ferro.

AV Azu normally has a good matchup to the stuff you mentioned. When somebodys say a good check to "insert playstyle" it's mostly a generalization of being a good way to handle the mons that are associated with that playstyle. For example, Breloom is a good check to sand but you would never actually see it switch into an Excadrill ever. It's a general term that ignores more specific circumstances while taking into account those extra details are usually covered more or less.
 
Question: Could Ferrothorn fit in HO/Offensive teams? Like, performing as a pivot? I've seen successful offensive squads w/ Ferro and I'm wondering. Thanks.
 
I think that Ferrothorn has a place on bulky offense builds which are kinda approaching balance on the offense/defense spectrum

edit: goddammit ninja'd
 
SpDef tran is very good at checking tornadus, the lati twins, clefable, and a bunch other things. Offensive tran is phenomenal at punching holes in teams that don't expect HP ice on their garchomp/lando/gliscor, or a Fire blast that seriously damages an AV conk or something. They both are good, but perform two completely different roles.
 
Is it okay if I use Teams from other Users for Laddering in Pokemon Showdown ? I know this is kinda a Stupid and unnecessary question but I wanted to get an opinion from maybe someone who is more experiences than me.
 
So why don't people use HP Fighting Lati? Absolutely kills Bisharp while hitting various other Darks as well, while maintaining SE coverage on Heatran and Ferrothorn. What's not to like?
 
It was standard for a long time. I think its just because HP Fire is typically more useful due to hitting ferro/skarm while still nailing bisharp for solid damage.

HP Fire is usually preferred since it actually deals enough to Ferrothorn, unlike HP Fighting which really doesn't, and also hits Skarmroy, Scizor, Jirachi, Metagross and Klefki, plus also deals a ton of damage to Bisharp anyway. Heatran can kinda just shrug off HP Fighting too, EQ is a much better option if you want to hit it, heck even Surf is better for hitting Heatran, and it's not exactly great either.
 
Ive been seeing clefable a lot and this made me wonder,
What makes it so good? Is unaware really that useful? Because there are a lot of pokemon that have immediate power and clefable doesnt have a lot of bulk

Also, what kind of teams could clefable fit on?
Thanks
