Bulk Up Gallade works well on balanced teams rather than Hyper Offense teams. It also works well with paralysis support and Toxic Spikes support. I personally love Gallade in the current RU metagame, as it functions well against most Special Attackers; not being OHKOed by boosted monsters such as Gorebyss and Lilligant is amazing. Shedinja can definitely work, but the plethora of Fire-, Flying-, Dark-, and Ghost-types, and entry hazards make it difficult for Shedinja to function effectively without tons of team support.
Despite my previous post regarding weather teams, I actually haven't seen that many around here. I've seen more balanced / HO teams (rarely stall), and that seems to be the way to go. Also, I think people have forgotten about a few awesome mons. Nobody seems to use Typhlosion anymore (I obviously do) and it's still ridiculously good. The only things that hard counter it are SpD Lanturn and Slowking. Choice Scarf Eruption is very deadly and comes in handy quite often. Lilligant is also an excellent set up sweeper, and poses an immediate threat. I honestly haven't seen to many of those either, but Sleep Powder + Quiver Dance is as dangerous as ever. Not to mention Lilligant's great base 90 Speed stat.
My opinion of the current RU metagame is that it is balanced. In my opinion, there isn't a need for any more suspects. With hail being banned from UU (and obviously RU / NU), the metagame is relatively stable. Although Honchkrow is an auto-suspect for this round, I feel that it should not be banned - it's hardly worthy of being banned. Sure, Moxie is cool, but it gets walled by Steel-types. Honchkrow is also quite slow, and often relies on Sucker Punch to hit faster opponents, which can be very risky. I feel like I'm beating the dead horse here with regards to Honchkrow, but nevertheless, my opinion is that the RU metagame should stay as it is.
