Question about competitive Pokémon battling strategy?

Question

So I am creating a team in my Platinum based around Sunny Day. Due to my internet security settings, i have not done much competitive battling, bu i do know plenty about strategy. For my team I was thinking of leading with a Sceptile to quickly set up a Sunny Day. My Sceptile also knows Focus Blast, mainly for opposing Tyranitar, as Tyranitar causes huge problems for Sunny Day teams by ruining SunnyBeamers. What I was wondering was what I should put in the last two move slots? I want a special Grass STAB but I don't know which to use. SolarBeam is nice, but that makes him just as vulnerable to Tyranitar as anyone else. Also I have no idea what to put in the last slot. Currently he knows Giga Drain and Leaf Blade (which i was thinking could be used to break Special Walls). Let me know what yu think I should do.

Oh, and by the way, I do not hack or cheat in any way, so I try to avoid using any non-replaceable TMs. Just so you can take that into account as well.

try teaching it frenzy plant or grassknot, since tyranitar is heavy, and for grassknot move, the heavier the pokemon, the more damage. and if it uses sunny day, the attack will be even more powerful

i know this doesnt really answer your question but try try getting a smeargal (it can learn any move with sketch) and use sketch to teach it roar, spikes, and poison spikes. teach it whatever for the fourth move. this is only good for trainer battles. use poison spikes and spikes in the battle and keep using roar so you keep poisoning every pokemon on their team and hurting their team slowly, after smeargal is defeated if true, take out your sceptile or whatever and since every pokemon is poisoned, it would be easier to win.
