I see an abundance of physical sweepers...

Flygon@Choice Scarf
Naughty / Levitate
54Spd / 252atk / 202Sp.atk
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Blast
-Thunder Punch

This is a fairly common MixGon, Outrage coupled with STAB and Choice scarf is a lethal weapon and will be used the most often. Earthquake is a second STAB that kills steels, Fire Blast to wreck Skarmory / Bronzong... and the last one's a filler but Thunder Punch hits bulky waters that can carry Ice moves. You should be able to outrun the majority of in-game NPC's with this spread and hit like a flying tank.

Infernape, and most setup sweepers, should never use recoil moves. Use Fire Pawnch>Flare Blitz, seeing as the recoil damage, alongside boosted Attack will stack up. Run ThunderPawnch>Stone Edge, as it hits Waters, alongside Flying which Stone Edge gets.

metagross is good but here's a better set

Metagross@Leftovers
Adamant / Clear Body
252Atk / 170Hp / 88Spd
-Meteor Mash
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch / Thunder Punch
-Agility

Meteor Mash is the only STAB you really need, and Earthquake kills other steels. Ice Punch for grounds or Thunder Punch for bulky waters. Agility is obvious.
The spread lets you outrun base 130's with a +speed nature and 252EV's in speed... which you will never see in-game but it will be amazingly useful if you go onto wifi.
