For these sets, I can't help feeling that Roost would be a much better option over Agility. While Agility has its uses, it's kinda hard find a free turn to set up when you're so weak to Rocks and priority. Not to mention that neither of these boast the best offensive stats, so even if you find time to set up, there are a number of common threats that wall both for days, as they can't beat said special walls without some form of reliable recovery.
Roost would actually give you the recovery you need, especially when both mons are weak to Stealth Rock. I appreciate you will be carrying a spinner, but you can't spin everytime, and Articuno takes 75% from SR and a Substitute, meaning only 3 turns of Life Orb recoil. Sub Roost would actually allow you to beat common defensive threats such as Slowbro, Jellicent, Ferrothorn, Skarmory, etc.
