I was trying to think of a moveset to use for a gallade involving shadow sneak.

Gallade@Life orb
Shadow sneak
Psyco cut
Close combat
W-o-w/Hypnosis.

Also, is lonely a good nature for one?

You need Swords Dance for good Damage.
Leave the Shadow Sneaking to Banette and Shedinja, Please. They get STAB on it.

Swords dance on gallade= bad.

Turn 1- Gallade vs. Special sweeper. Gallade uses SD, special sweeper switches out to physical sweeper
Turn 2. Gallade attempts to attack, physical sweeper owns.
Thats why instead, i would predict the switch and use willow wisp or hypnosis, giving me a free turn to attack or switch out. SHadow sneak is because gallade is very slow.

No it is not.
It is the same reason why DD T-Tar sucks balls.

Turn 1: T-Tar vs Special sponge T-Tar uses DD, Special Sponge switches to physical sweeper.
Turn 2: T-Tar attemps to attack but gets owned by the sweeper.

that is why DD on T-Tar is the worst move ever just like SD on Gallade sucks.

Or you start with W-o-w because you predict the switch.

i actually use one of these as a regular on my competitive team. the set i run is:

Gallade (JudooooCHOP) @ Leftovers
Ability: Steadfast
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Sp.Def, 6 HP
Moves:
Leaf Blade
Shadow Sneak
Drain Punch
Swords Dance

people dont expect leaf blade as most gallade sets run close combat instead. it helps me take care of unexpected switch ins. in addition, the drain punch over close combat makes him an annoyer as he can just heal. especially with a swords dance, drain punch will keep gallade at full health if he is not OHKOd
