There are a handful great mons in RU at the moment. I slapped 5 of them and a spinner on a team and voila, #6 on the ladder.
Stuff I recommend using:
Assault Vest Excavalier- Megahorn / Knock off / Drill Run / Iron Head
- Eats up hits from Shaymin, Kyurem and Reuniclus, and to a lesser extent Yanmega. Utility with Knock off also.
- Holy balls this thing is a monster. Literally 2hkoes everything in the tier with rocks up if you give it HP fire
Yanmega- Air slash / Bug buzz / Protect / Giga drain - Modest, 252 spa 252 spe
- Best late game cleaner in the tier hands down
Rhyperior
- Reliable rocks setter that checks a ton of mons in the tier
Raikou
- Can run scarf, specs, e-belt, calm mind depending on the team's needs. Strong, fast and respectably bulky.
Shaymin
- Life orb seed flare takes lives. HP fire is the best hidden power to run with Escavalier everywhere.
Sharpedo
- Not as good as Yanmega IMO, but doesn't desperately need to be paired with a spinner / defogger
- Hurricane, Grass knot, Superpower.. ouch.
Aromatisse
- Staple on stall teams, can wish pass, aromatherapy and beat most special attackers in the tier
Cobalion
- Swords dance lum berry is really threatening with steel typing letting it set up on tons of stuff; also makes a good pivot with rocks and volt switch
Hitmontop
- Reliable spinner with intimidate; can use foresight to guarantee a spin and toxic to cripple switch-ins
Reuniclus
- trick room set > calm mind imo, but both can do work
Gligar
- Not as good as it was last generation with Knock Off everywhere, but still checks a bunch of physical attackers and probably the best defogger in the tier.
