Aggron and Absol look like they will be pretty decent in RU. Although, the question remains as to whether they'll be as good in this gen's RU as they were in BW2 RU (and as far as I'm concerned, they were both great in BW2 RU). Assuming Tyrantrum gets axed, Aggron will probably be pretty decent in this metagame like it was back in BW2, although not quite as good. Its CB set would be pretty deadly, as Aggron can use a bone-crushingly powerful Head Smash like it did in BW2, and Heavy Slam is also good for dealing with Aromatisse and Togetic, both of which get utterly smashed by the power of it. Aggron can also run quite a few coverage options such as Aqua Tail to hit Rhyperior really hard, or Fire Punch to hit Bronzong and Escavalier hard. It has a lot of physical bulk too so it could take a hit or two to fire Head Smash and bomb stuff. Big problem with it is that it's slow as molasses and is unable to take most special attacks in the tier, not to mention its weaknesses are incredibly exploitable. Luckily it's fast enough to at least outpace some of the defensive Pokemon in the tier like Aromatisse and Slowking. Basically Aggron will be a bit like Exploud: it's very difficult to get into the battle, but once you get it in safely, Aggron will be dishing out a lot of pain, and it'll probably get at least one kill per game, if not more. It'll be pretty good in my opinion, but one needs to be wary that it's pretty damn easy to revenge kill considering it's so slow and has so many weaknesses.
Absol seems like kind of a mixed bag. It got individual benefits from the transition from BW to XY/ORAS, such as new moves for it to use as an attacker such as Play Rough and Knock Off, but at the same time, the metagame itself is quite different from before. That being said, however, it'll still do what it used to do back then, basically being a Dark-type wallbreaker and revenge killer, and a good one at that. It has Sucker Punch, which is a good thing to have considering it can revenge kill a number of common Pokemon such as Delphox, Accelgor, Sigilyph, Meloetta, and more. It also has access to Knock Off as a far more powerful and annoying STAB move as it can hit slower Pokemon harder now with STAB, allowing it to hit stuff like Slowking and Bronzong hard or any other slow mons, and also knock off items, which is great too. Play Rough is also useful to basically hit Scrafty and Fighting-types hard, and the last moveslot is basically up to you: Absol can run Fire Blast there which allows it to hit Tangrowth and Mega Steelix somewhat hard (like it did back in BW2, although just with Steelix), or it can run Pursuit which allows it to trap stuff. Better yet, it can also run SD which allows it to be a great sweeper and late-game cleaner with +2 Sucker Punch hitting stuff hard (think of it as a bit like Bisharp in OU tbh). With LO it hits pretty hard while having good offensive utility since it has priority, good power to wallbreak, and coverage. Only problems with it are that Hitmonlee is gonna be incredibly good in this metagame and that sucks for it. Aromatisse and Togetic, two Fairy-types, are also an issue for it since they exist and can wall Absol assuming you don't run something like Iron Tail. Sucker Punch is also kinda unreliable and can be used to one's advantage by setting up Sub or something. I think Absol has a lot of potential to be good, but not as good as it was in BW2 RU.
Aerodactyl was good in BW2 RU because it was fast as hell and had a good offensive movepool allowing it to perform pretty well against offensive teams. It'll have plenty of merit because it resists Fletchinder's Acrobatics and can revenge it, while it has plenty of coverage as it has a strong Stone Edge and Aerial Ace to work with, which can both hit certain Pokemon hard. It also has okay coverage as it can run Aqua Tail to hit Rhyperior hard or run Fire Blast to hit Mega Steelix and Tangrowth. It outpaces practically everything except Accelgor and Jolteon meaning it can be a great revenge killer, not to mention it has good resists meaning it can check stuff like Emboar and Fletchinder.
Blastoise sounds decent because it's a bulky spinner that can probably act a bit like a Water-type Hitmontop. It has a good matchup against every Rocks setter in RU as it has a good typing and bulk to stand against all of them, and Scald is a very spammable move that can also spread burns which is nice as usual. With a defensive set it can run Foresight to spin on Ghost-types if you want, or you can just poison them with Toxic. I guess an offensive set sounds okay to use LO Dark Pulse to hit Ghost-types but I don't know if that's even plausible. It can burn shit, and it can run Roar or Dragon Tail, and combine these and you can wear a lot of stuff down through phazing and spreading burns. This also is workable against Ghost-types too. Rapid Spin will probably be its big draw though, as well as its ability to phaze, as otherwise you might as well be using Slowking or Clawitzer tbh.
Medicham and Sharpedo were here before so I'm sure most people will know how they're gonna do in this meta, and lol Ampharos will suck ass, it'll end up in PU in two months most likely.
