Help with my Altaria?

Okay so,I wanted my Altaria to learn both Perish Song and Sky Attack.

My current moveset now is:

Fly and Dragon Claw are pretty much straightforward,with STAB and decent power.Dragon Dance is to buff up Attack and Speed.And Steel Wing is coverage.

Back to the question,what moves should I replace for him to learn Perish Song and Sky Attack?Or shouldn’t those moves be learned for a certain reason?

Any suggestions is allowed and appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Oh,and note that this is in Emerald.

Sky attack, while powerful, has a drawback which is a waiting turn, during the waiting turn you are prone to attacks. While Fly also has a waiting turn, you can’t be damaged by attacks for that turn. And it is generally better in game as you can use it to fly to different locations. After a D-Dance boost, Fly would easily be capable of taking out the same Pokemon as Sky Attack with none of the draw backs.

Perish Song is only good as a finishing move or to force switches in competitive, which you aren’t doing. By the time those 3 turns are up, you have probbaly either KO’d the oppoenent or got wiped out, if it’s late game at least. It’s a waste of a moveslot with little practical use.

So, you’re fine as you are. Set is good to use.
