Hi First of I wanted to say thanks for actually reading my thread. Next I want to say thanks for rating my team if you do so. This team is a mono-fire team, I know that my main weaknesses will come from Water, Ground, and some Rock types but I think I have found a way to balance them out perfectly. Anyway Thanks for readnig my thread and to some thanks for rating it. So shall we dive into the main attraction of the post.

The Lead​

038ninetails.gif

Ninetails@ Leftovers
Ability: Drought
Evs: 200 HP/108 SpA/ 200 SpD
Nature: Modest
~ Hypnosis
~ Fire Blast
~ Solarbeam
~ Psyshock​
For some reason ever since Ninetails got the ability Drougt I didnt not want to fall into the trap of building a sun team and just having the same standard pokes has the next sun team. Well this is my special defensive set. Hypnosis is there to put the opponents lead or any other poke that wants to take the sleep. With the moves chosen I hit 8 out of the 17 types super-effective. I was thinking about changing Hypnosis for Hidden Power Ice to hit the occasional lead dragon. But I think that I have that covered with my revenge killer.​

Physical Sweeper

Inferape@ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
Evs: 140 Atk/168 SpA/200 Spd
Nature: Naive
~ Close Combat
~Flare Blitz
~ Thunderpunch
~Hidden Power Ice
My main pysical sweeper, IMO Inferape outclasses Blaziken aslong as Blaziken does not carry the speed bosst which is banned. Yes Blaziken has better offences and HP base stats but Inferape has better speed and defences base stats. Flare Blitz in the sun is complete rape and it is boosted with life orb for some really big damage. Close Combat just to complete the ultimate STAB combination. Thunderpunch and Hidden Power Ice are used for coverage. Thunderpunch hits Gyrados for 4x super effective damage and Hidden Power Ice hits Garchomp and Dragonite for 4x super effective damage as well. The Life Orb does decrease how long Inferape will stay alive, but with Flare Blitz and Close Combat I think I can kill a few pokes before Inferape dies.​

Main Attraction​

006Charizard.png

Charizard@ Life Orb
Ability: Solar Power
Evs: 6 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd
Nature: Timid
~ Fire Blast
~ Air Slash
~SolarBeam
~ Hidden Power Electric
Thanks to the easy acces of the sun from Ninetails Charizard was a must have with the Solar Power Abilitiy. Boosting my SpA by 50% it was something I could not pass up. With sun up and solar power activated fire blast will do a shitload of damage on anything which doesnt x4 resist it(84.3% - 99.2% to slowbro, 48.7% - 57.6% to slowking and an amazing 59.7% - 70.3% to blissey from a Modest Max SpA Charizard with Life Orb). Rest moves are there for coverage​

Revenge Killer​

20110222193804!Shandera.png

Chandelure@ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
Evs: 6 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd
Nature: Timid
~ Fire Blast
~Shadow Ball
~ Energy Ball
~Hidden Power Ice
The perfect revenge killer IMO he hits 11 out of 17 types for super effective damage. I did run Modest Nature for a bit to gain extra attacking power but then i would lose to other pokes in due to speed ties or them just outspeeding me. That is why I went with the Timid nature to stay on top and get the first move on my opponent.​

Back Up Sweeper
Volcarona.png

Volcarona@ Life Orb
Ability: Flame Body
Evs: 6 HP/252 SpA/252 Spd
Nature: Timid
~Quiver Dance
~Fiery Dance
~ Bug Buzz
~ Hidden Power Ground
My back up sweeper if Charizard has died. This is a very basic set that everyone uses there really is not much to explain here. Just Quiver Dance up and then full out attack.​

Filler
485.png

Heatran@ Air Ballon
Ability: Flash Fire
Evs: 6 Hp/ 252 SpA/252 Spd
Nature: Timid
~ Substitute
~ Fire Blast
~ Hidden Power Ice
~Earth Power
This is just a poke that i found as a filler to my team I am looking for another Pokemon to replace it really. But what i usually do is come in on something that does not want to take a Fire Blast and set up the sub. Then I just stay in until I lose the sub.​

Hi thanks again for reading my post and thanks for rating it if you do. Some changes I was thinking was chaning Heatran out for Victini and maybe putting Darmanitan in for Volcarona. I also get RAPED by choice scarf Politoad.
 
One question, will you be using this monotype fire team vs. standard OU teams? Because monotype teams only work vs. other monotype teams..

And just a quick tip, Hidden Power Fighting > Hidden Power Ice on Chandelure
It just provides better coverage and it's able to hit Heatran Super-Effectively.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant to say put hp fighting on Chandelure.
 
If you are running this team in standard OU, then you should switch your Pokemon. There's no way your team will do well against non-monotype teams. You should switch from fire types only to fire types, Grass Pokemon with abilities and moves that take advantage of sun, and other Pokemon that provide sufficient coverage.

So I should change from a mono-fire team to a sun team?

When you first created this team, what was your original intent? If you want to convert it to a sun team, then we can't really do much to help you since we would have to rip your main team strategy apart to make it a sun team.

I don't know if you were planning on using a monotype team to battle Standard OU teams. If so, you wont get too far.

Sorry, I am unable to help you...
 
I'd say heatran is fine, but you could use it much better with a special sweeper with Flame Charge. Also you dsperately need a way toget rid of rocks since you have BOTH volcarona AND charizard, 4x weak pokemon.Taunt is your best option since youi're running a mono team andI don't think any fire type knows rapid spin.
