That's true.  I just need something for that fourth slot, something with good coverage and decent power...something that, ideally, could cover the rest of my team's weaknesses.  (I'd also prefer it to be a Sp. Attack-based move, since it's a Special Tank).  HP water serves as a good anti-Fire measure (especially if I can breed Ferrothorn right so I get max power with Water-type), SolarBeam hits Ninetales' weaknesses and gets STAB, Flash Cannon gets STAB and hits hard, and is mostly neutral.  I wish Ferrothorn got a Special Ground-type move, that would take out Electric, which is the only substantial threat to my team.  (Then again, that's what Tyranitaur can hit with Earthquake, and I can pull in Skarmory when I need to use it so the other partners don't get massacred.)  Maybe Bulldoze, even though it's Physical, since it's a Ground-type attack?  (I also kinda wish Ferrothorn got Rapid Spin, that would be good for anti-hazard use.)

EDIT: here's a variation of that Doubles team for Triples use:
Team 2: Dual-Weather (Triples)
*Politoed (Drizzle [Dream World])
*Toxicroak (Dry Skin [normal])
*Vaporeon (Hydration [Dream World]) OR Scisor (Technician [normal)
*Tyranitaur (Sandstorm [normal])
*Skarmory (Sturdy [normal])
*Beheeyem (Telepathy [normal])
