Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
You have stated before you don't want suspect tests at certain times like during tournaments. Do you mind at all if I have that schedule where suspect tests are possible?
I suppose my inexperience with suspect tests shows. I figured 45-10 was bad compared to other voters. I've always thought regular voters lose maybe 3 times regularly and 5 times max, so it's reassuring that I did good.
In the past, I've heard 10-0 or reset, so I never got past the first hurdle...
I was 6-1 and 9-2 during Palafin suspect reqs, then won the next 15 games in a row. Once I reached the 1750 Elo threshold, I was 45-10 with 1754 Elo and 81.3% GXE. Early losses might be overemphasized in my opinion.

I have battled against Palafin's Choice Band set and Bulk Up set, and neither set seems broken. I do have to be fair and acknowledge that my suspect test team has 5 Palafin checks. I did not really prepare for Palafin besides increasing...
This might be the post that I've thought about most. May I have links to the teams and replays referenced in this post so I have context to some of your points, thanks!
If I were to post an updated team from an old RMT, is it better to use the old thread or start a new one? What is the difference maker?

This is my first time getting suspect requirements ever. I attempted in the past but gave up on them early on. I actually got a 20-0 lead this time though and decided to see it through. 50-16 at the end, but I'll take it any day.

So it isn't just me being bad against stall. I've beaten stall in replays 9 and 19; I actually edited in numbers for convenience. It definitely takes work though I'll admit. Against stall, I do feel like I might want Heavy-Duty Boots on Tinkaton, but I especially want them on Walking Wake.
I...

This is my first, and probably only RMT. I'm not that great of a writer, so apologies if this looks pretty rough. I like to make funny looking and weird teams with restrictions, an example being a monocolor blue team, so most of them are bad. Most of...
