Yes. Certain parts are restricted to badge-holders, for instance - all main competitive discussion threads are open to all users, though, as well as other things like Wi-Fi, Orange Islands and non-Pokémon related threads.
thank you
In addition to what Kurona said, suspect voting threads can only be posted in if you attain reqs
Why is there a baton pass clause?
Standard so you can handle Manaphy
Yes, with the release of the OR/AS games.
yes
is offensive tank suicune referring to crocune or one of the UU sets?
Offensive tank suicune is a set from UU / DPP OU where max HP and special attack is used (speed > HP also works sometimes) and uses CM + 3 attacks.
Crocune is Scald / CM / Rest / Sleep Talk and its max hp / max def with whatever speed creep you want.
They play completely differently.
Cheers.
Also is Mega Camerupt viable as a wallbreaker, or is it only ever used as a trick room sweeper? I know it has many problems as a wallbreaker mainly due to it being stupidly slow but is it unviable in that role altogether?
It's technically viable since it has some switch-in opportunities (after Mega-Evolving, at least) so it can get in and nuke things, but its low Speed without any recovery is a huge detriment.
Can anyone here tell me what a good team would b
e to work pangoro and what moves they should all have?

What's the most common Talonflame set? I remember SD being standard with Band being shit a couple months ago but I'm not sure what's best for it now.
heres a rough order of its sets by their viability
- defensive sd
- offensive sd
- stallbreaker
- spdef bulk up
- natural gift
- band
Pangoro should be used as a wallbreaker against balanced teams. In OU, Choice Band / LO with 4 attacks (Superpower, Knock Off, Gunk Shot, Ice Punch) is the best set. Parting Shot / Drain Punch can be used over Ice Punch if your team can already handle bulky grounds well. Scrappy is the prefered ability to OHKO Mega Sableye with Superpower.
SD + Flare Blitz is the most common but in my opinion the best set is either offensive wisp (Wisp, SD, Acro with attack investment) or SpD (Wisptaunt / Wispbulkup / Tauntbulkup + Roost + BB) Choice Band set is the least common (+/- 17%) and also the worst of the three main sets (SD / Bulky / Band)
This might not be the best place to ask this, but would it be beneficial for me to make an alt in order to climb the ladder higher? I use my main account for testing teams and have played about 300 games with it and have a rating of 1517. I recently made a team I like a lot and plan to climb the ladder as high as I can. Would it quickee for me to climb the ladder with my current account or make a new one?
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'll do it anyway. I just wanted to ask a question about the very recent decision to prevent baton pass from passing off speed + other boosts. Do you think it might have been a little too much to have made this such a blanket decision when geopass, stored power Espeon, and SD/ID Scolipede were really the only problems? I don't recall hearing many people complaining about SD Ninjask or smashpass all that much when it came to discussing how to nerf BP teams.
