Hard to say, i've been a pretty busy and haven't actually gotten a chance to start the code yet, though its a high priority.
 
Here's some ideas for a few more obscure Pokemon from Gen 3

Dewgong: Rest, Sleep Talk, Surf, Ice Beam, Hail, Rain Dance, Hidden Power Ground, Toxic

Seaking: Agility, Surf, Ice Beam, Toxic, Supersonic, Double-Edge, Horn Drill

Aerodactyl: Swords Dance, Agility, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Fly, Earthquake

Shuckle: Encore, Toxic, Rollout, Protect, Substitute, Rest, Sleep Talk

Aggron: Thunder Wave, Iron Tail, Double-Edge, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Protect, Iron Defense

Just wanted to contribute a little bit. A little rusty with Gen 3 but hope this helps somehow. I saw some earlier posts that were much more comprehensive.

Seaking: Horn Drill is banned in competitive play, so we wouldn't be adding it in randbats. Supersonic is way too unreliable to bother with.

Aerodactyl: Fly is kinda useless, Rock Tomb is so weak that the speed drop isn't enough to compensate for it in terms of utility, Agility is more or less pointless because almost nothing outspeeds Aero naturally and it can't BP it to a teammate, and it can't even learn Swords Dance. Rock Slide and Earthquake are already in its randbats movepool.

Shuckle: Most of those moves are already in its movepool. I don't have enough experience with ADV Shuckle to know if there's any point at all to Substitute (I'm inclined to doubt it given how much it needs its recovery, Toxic, and Encore), but Rollout takes too long to get going and doesn't hit all that hard off Shuckle's garbage Attack stat even once it does.

Aggron: Thunder Wave, Iron Tail, Rock Slide, and Earthquake are already in its randbats movepool. Double-Edge is fairly strong but doesn't really achieve any important KOs that its other offensive moves don't already, and can't be used to cripple a team like T-wave can. Protect isn't that good on it because it needs its other moveslots too badly, and Iron Defense is kinda questionable.

I would reccomend keeping Double Edge on Aggron since it's powerful (more than Rock Slide), reliable, and comes off Rock Head; the coverage on Fightings and Grounds also helps some. The KO calcs are likely changed also since all mons are 84/84/84 bulk invested in randbats.

No sets are missing at the moment, i've just been busy inrl which is why this isn't programmed yet. If your interested in helping out you could suggest changes to existing sets, or maybe contribute in code (DM me if interested in the code part)

Hey guys good news, I got the scripts done and a beta is available on spacialgaze!

Ill be updating the movepools again soon (I wanted to finish the scripts before doing that).
If you see any weird sets, or sets that dont work, or anything that shouldn't be legal (no megas in gen 3 either ;) ), post it here and I'll see what I can do.

After doing some SG testing, some bugs and suggestions and such ("have" means "have in its movepool"):

ResTalk should be removed from Parasect, its pretty difficult to tank with that typing/stat spread and sporing/attacking is preferable
Raticate should have a STAB more consistent than Facade (Return? Double-Edge? both?)
Nidoking rolled Sludge Bomb twice
Nosepass should have Rock Slide (STAB)
Feraligatr should have a STAB (Hydro Pump? Surf?)
Solar Beam shouldn't exist without Sunny Day or Drought
Razor Leaf + Solar Beam shouldn't exist
Got Endure Gligar without any move/item that Endure helps; either he should get like Salac in that case or he shouldn't have Endure
Quick Claw + Whirlwind/Roar shouldn't exist
DD should require a physical move
Flail should require either Sub or Endure
Fire Blast + Overheat shouldn't exist
Aerial Ace + HP Flying shouldn't exist
Rock Slide + HP Rock shouldn't exist

Banned deucer.
is the Smogon Tour Season 34 Championis a Past SPL Championis a Two-Time Past SCL Champion
HP Ghost should be removed from Lapras, seems like random coverage and a dual STAB such as Ice Beam would be better
Electrode should have HP Ice over Sub
I got Early Bird as ability on Shiftry instead of Chlorophyll when the set was Shadow Ball, Sunny Day, Brick Break, Solar Beam
Bug STAB On Pinsir( HP Bug) instead of HP Ghost
Surf SD Rest Talk Kingler should not exist
Random Endure on rest talk megahorn Heracross should not exist

After some more testing:
Rain Dance + Rest shouldn't be a combination (or something else to prevent Rest Sleep Talk Rain Dance HP Grass Kingdra)
Swalot can currently get HP Grass and Giga Drain, but Ice Beam is usually better than either; one or both of the grass moves should be removed
HP Grass + Giga Drain shouldn't exist
If possible, Perish Song should force Mean Look
Nidoqueen feels a little fast for Quick Claw
Light Screen seems not that helpful on Machamp
Sceptile got Substitute twice
Aerial Ace Ice Beam Taunt BP Absol isn't great but a good way to fix it isnt coming to mind
Not sure if Disable + boosting move should be a combination
If Yanma hasn't rolled another HP type, it should get HP Flying instead of Aerial Ace (this can probably be applied more generally)
Swords Dance + Counter shouldn't exist
Earthquake + Bonemerang shouldn't exist
Disable + Hypnosis shouldn't exist
not sure why Zapdos gets Extrasensory

It's on main server now! huzzah!

Since corsola already has natural cure, it should drop refresh from the movepool and get ice beam.
Speed boost shouldn't go with Salac Berry (liechi maybe?)
Overall it feels like choice band should be rather more common, i imagine the presence of utility moves (eg rapid spin on armaldo) are to blame. those moves shouldn't be axed, but there should be a way to increase odds of all 4 moves being powerful physical attacks and therefore getting band
 
Just got Solarbeam on Non-Chlorophyll, Non-Sunny Day Shiftry; not the most helpful of options!

Also Wobbuffet should have both Mirror Coat & Counter as mandatory, just got one without the former

Most likely, the movepool was emptied out as it was trying to find a sutible move. Also did you possibly have a different pokemon with sunny day?
 
Bright Powder and Quick Claw shouldn't exist, replace them both with Leftovers or a suitable item.

Sitrus Berry shouldn't exist (heals 30 HP instead of a quarter of max), replace it with Leftovers or a pinch berry.

If a pinch berry and Substitute is on the set, force max HP to be divisible by 4.

Venusaur should have EQ to pair with SD on Curse/SD/whatever
Body Slam+Double Edge doesn't exist
Bright Powder and Quick Claw shouldn't exist, replace them both with Leftovers or a suitable item.
remember that the list of other suitable items in gen3 is pretty much Choice Band (which mixed sets and those with things like rapid spin won't have) and maybe chesto berry for Rest users unless i'm missing something

oh forgot pinch berries and i guess? lum
