M-Gallade/Bisharp is a pairing that I see pretty often. A Wide Guard user is also always wise to incorporate because Hyper Voice is so ubiquitous.
Thanks for some suggestions on this mon. as i mentioned skill swap is extremelyviable in doubles, though not many learn it it isn't used widely. pokemon like heatran, m-kang, m-mawile,m-salamence,-gardevior- talonflame,- venusaur, m- ludicolo and more than ever you can think of are half reliant on their abilities, skill swap is able to steal them with grace and turn it in their loosing condition.
as for you question of close combat, i wanted to use a bulky gallade and close combat just isn't the idea for it's being. low kick sucks against many mons and gets to conditional (as for reference to my playstyle and comfort ability, though many still use it better than me) drain punch makes useful recoveries as well as keeps it longer on the field. after stealing parental bond with ease it is going down for sure.
