Great guide! I mean it, I like that you took time to add speed and damage calcs. I find this pokemon super charismatic and you did well by it. Now for constructive critics
Powerful Meteor
If for some reason, one would prefer to deal with another spectrum of pokemon than those hit by the Rock/Ground/Fire combo and use a combination of Psychic/Fighting/Ghost moves, Psyshock is a nice option that lets Astronite hit specially defensive pokemon for greater damage. Psyshock, Focus Blast and Shadow Ball don't get a Technician boost but Trace offers versatility. But if you say Rock/Ground/Fire is the best option to hit the whole dex for a least neutral damage...
Moon Logic
I agree with Windos in that if you plan to use Astronite as a Lead or Suicide Lead, Sturdy is the best ability. You could then afford to invest less in HP and more in Special attack, to go out with a bang once the Rocks are set.
Also, have you used the Defense Effort Values Applet to make your EV spreads? I checked those that invested a lot in HP and noticed that they followed exactly what it said. If you didn't, you sure have an eye for these things, but if you did, I'm even more so pleased by the work you put into this guide!
