Hey nice team. I personally really like sun teams. I have a few suggestions for you.

Major Changes:
1. Your team gets hard walled by Blissey and Chansey. Charizard hits hard, but you already have Venu and Heatran that abuse the sun. I suggest changing Charizard to Rillaboom, Zapdos-Galar or Victini. This allows you to have a reliable answer to Blissey and as well as Urshifu-R other than Venusaur. I like the Choice Band set on Rillaboom, being able to hit hard immediately, but you can run SD + Life Orb as well on Rillaboom. For Victini, I recommend a Boots + W-O-Wisp set on Victini. Victini also walls Tapu-Lele completely and can OHKO with V-create. For Zapdos-G, I like running a Choice Scarf set usually, as it helps out speed so much. If you run a Scarf Zapdos-G, change Heatran to Specs. You can test all three of these and decide which one you like better.

Rillaboom Set

Rillaboom @ Choice Band
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Grassy Glide
- Knock Off
- Superpower
- U-turn

Victini Set

Victini @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- V-create
- Will-O-Wisp
- Bolt Strike
- U-turn

Zapdos-Galar Set

Zapdos-Galar @ Choice Band
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Close Combat
- Thunderous Kick
- U-turn

Overall, I think Galarian Zapdos is the best choice, since it provides Ground immunity as well, but you should test these and see which best suits your play style.

Minor suggestions:
1. Use Giga Drain on Venusaur instead of Solar Beam. Yes, Solar Beam has huge power, but if the sun wears out, or your opponent switches weather, you could be in trouble. Plus, Giga Drain gives you minor healing which lets Venu live longer and have a more successful sweep.

2. Make that Mandibuzz SpDef. You already have a Phys Def Ferrothorn with Rocky Helmet to punish physical attacker, so changing Mandibuzz to SpDef allows it to more consistently switch into special attackers, most notably Blacephalon and Dragapult's Shadow Ball. Additionally, you have Torkoal as another physical wall.

3. Use Lava Plume or Flamethrower on Heatran instead of Fire Blast. Sure, the power is good, but you need something more reliable as Fire Blast often tends to miss.

And that's all from my side.

And that's all from my side.

I've since swapped out heatran for landorous-t, and made mandibuzz spdef. However, it's worth mentioning that blissey and chansey do not hard wall this team. A charizard weather ball in sun is a 100% and 90% chance of a 2hko respectively, (100% for both with rocks or chip). Thanks for the rate though, I was starting to think it would never happen.

Consider a Heatran switch in. Sun must be able to switch into Heatran and threaten it. Some candidates are:

Swampert, Garchomp, Flygon, Dragonite, Hydreigon, or giving your own Heatran an Air Balloon.
