For Aggron, I'm thinking something like this:
(Defense Boosting Nature)
EVS: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Atk (these are obviously really effin flexible)
Ability: Probably Sturdy. Rock Head will probably be entirely useless.
Moveset:
Earthquake
Stone Edge/Rock Slide
Iron Head/Iron Tail
Shadow Claw
Again, this is flexible. Really flexible. Hell, that list is just a bunch of decent moves that I threw up there. (Dragon Claw is definitely worth throwing in there...) It's a usable set for something that plans on being around for a few turns. If you plunge into the S.Atk spectrum with this guy, though, you open up possibilities like Ice Beam, Surf, Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Flamethrower, Dark Pulse, etc... it actually has AWESOME TM/Egg move access. You'd have to do some breeding, yeah, but the possibilities are there.
As for Toxicroak, he's a bit harder to build for...
(Attack or Satk boosting nature, nixing defense or sdef)
EVS: 252 Atk/Satk, 252 Spd, 4Hp (fix this to your preference, really... it could become an ok mixed sweeper, I suppose)
Again, the Abilities are kinda suck. Either is okay. Probably Anticipation.
Moveset:
For Atk:
Poison Jab
Earthquake
Cross Chop/Revenge/Brick Break
Bulk Up/Swords Dance
With some support, you might actually be able to run a decent Swords Dancing Toxicroak. I stuck with fairly common things here, especially STAB moves. This set could also be mixed around to make for a decent Choice item set, either Scarf or Band. Scarf would offer a needed boost on speed, but Band would make for some OHKOs.
For Satk:
Sludge Bomb
Shadow Ball/Dark Pulse
Focus Blast
Mud Bomb... or something
That's really just a list of decent Satk moves. You could Choice Specs that set if you really wanted... but why would you? And if you want to do a mixed sweeper set kind of deal:
Sludge Bomb
(one of the many fighting moves)
Earthquake
Shadow Ball/Dark Pulse
That's probably the best of the sets. Two STAB moves and decent support. You take a hit for not having higher stats, but Choice Scarf will help you out. That any most of the set is at least 90 strength before STAB, so you're doing okay damage wise.
...but really, that's just an okay set. I'm sure we can figure a better set out if we tool around with it a bit.
