This guys are my Sunny Day team, It is mostly an offensive team, a lot of people don't like sunny days but I think they are cool but it needs some help so let's talk about each of them:

Infernape_NB.gif

Infernape (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly (+Spe, -Spa)
- Sunny Day
- Brick Break
- Flare Blitz
- Stealth Rock
Ok this guy is my one and only lead, With his speed and atk he can normally put stealth rock and then OHKO the opposing lead, if I know that flare blitz will not kill him nor brick break I prefer putting sunny day, losing him but having stealth rock and sunny day planted.
Brick break is for Stab and attacking rock pokemons that can become a problem with their earthquake or ground attacks for my fire guys, Flare Blitz+Sunny Day OHKO to almost all pokemon unless it is not effective.
Why to use it with the team:

Weakens Water Attacks
Power ups fire attacks
Put Stealth rock that avoids focus sash and sturdy
May kill troublesome rock types with their ground attacks

Victreebel (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 196 Spe / 62 Spd / 252 Spa
Modest (+Spa, -Atk)
- Growth
- Energy Ball
- Weather Ball
- Sludge Bomb
This is one of my sweepers, sunny day convined with his ability Chlorophyll makes him overspeed almost all the competence, the only problems ussually are dragon danced pokemons with their raised speed, his 328 spa can make him OHKO with energy ball the likes of Gyarados, Starmie, etc. that would be a problem to my other fire pokemons, Weather Ball combined with sunny day it becomes a fire attack, defeating steel pokemons, bug, and plant pokemons like Scizor or Ferothorn, and Sludge Bomb is a Stab move that comes handy, Victreebel after a Single Growth he becomes almost unstopable the only problems would be dragons, and Victreebel is very frail so it is hard to be able to use Growth.

Why to use it with the team:
Eliminates the competence for the team like Ground, Steel, Plant, Water, etc.
Using his Chlorophylled speed can overcome the most of the opposing team sweepers.

Venusaur (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spa / 252 Spe
Modest (+Spa, -Atk)
- Growth
- Sludge Bomb
- Solarbeam
- Hidden Power Fire
This I consider the supreme sweeper, with only 1 point lower than victreebel in Spa, Venusaur has what Victrebeel hasn't and that's a strong Def and Spd that can make him resist more hits than his rival in team Victreebel, with his Solar Beam he can even beat a Ludicolo with ease and a lot of pokemons that aren't weak to plant attaks, other than that he is the same as Victreebel.

Why to use it with the team:
Eliminates the competence for the team like Ground, Steel, Plant, Water, etc.
Using his Chlorophylled speed can overcome the most of the opposing team sweepers.
Can beat ludicolo with ease :D!

Ninetails (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: CDrought
EVs: 252 Spa / 4 Spd / 252 Spe
Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Will-o-Wisp
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power Ground

The core of the Sunny Day team, the incredible and useless only because of his drought NINETALES *CHEERS*
Even thought is a very fast pokemon because of his 328 speed, is a very troublesome pokemon because almost all the time he is killed, I have lost because lack of sunny day, well that's if the opponent has a weather team, other than that, Will-o-Wisp for burning, energy ball for eliminating the Water pokemon and Hidden Power Ground to eliminate opposing Fire pokemons, his speed helps a lot when I am in trouble making use of his speed to OHKO some pokemons because of his high Spa and sunny day power, as well to kill opossing water pokemons with his Energy ball, I try to keep this pokemon away from trouble.

Why to use it with the team:
To have eternal Sunny Day.
Raise the attack of all fire attacks.
Lower the attack of all water Attacks.
Activate the Clorophyll of my sweepers.

Electivire (M) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Motor Drive
EVs: 40 Atk / 252 Spa / 216 Spe
Naive (+Spe, -Spd)(I don't know what to put in here so I went for speed)
- Thunderbolt
- Cross Shop
- Hidden Power Ice
- Rock Slide

The black sheep, the only one that hasn't to do a thing with the sunny day, he is a mixed attacker, with his balloon he avoids being hit by ground attacks like earthquake, making him only have one weakness or two, Thunderbolt a good Stab, Cross shop, Hidden Power Ice(for dragons and plant), Rock Slide, he can hit super effective against almost all kinds, a help when fire and plant are in trouble.

Why to use it with the team:
Have a change in the team.
Use it to protect more importan pokemons like the sweepers or ninetails.
OHKO pokemons hard to kill.
Make use of his motordrive against a electric pokemons.

Arcanine (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Spa / 4 Spd / 252 Spe
Modest (+Spa, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Solarbeam
- ExtremeSpeed
- Dragon Pulse

I really don't know why do I have this guy in the team, I just know that he can help with his extreme speed... I don't know what to say I don't have any strategy with him.

well and that's all I need feedback, I am having problems with the likes of Heatran, and with Weather Teams like Rain, hail and Sandstorm.
 
For purely superficial changes, get rid of Motor Drive on Electivire in exchange for Vital Spirit, because nothing is going to use an electric move against your team. Vital spirit can protect against spore.

Other than that, you're going to need more than an Air Balloon to protect you from an Earthquake Sweep, because you're either weak or neutral. Arcanine with Intimidate helps, but it isn't enough.

Consider
Exeggutor, Charzard, Claydol, Leafeon, ect over Victribell
 
You are asking a lot from infernape.
I think you should drop sunny day and add a coverage move on him. Give nine tales sunny day and drop HP ground. In the sun flamethrower with stab and sun boost is stronger anyways unless you are hitting 4x, or are that scared of heatran, who destroys this team. I'd add the HP ground on Vic or Venus with sun up they can take heatran on or surprise ohko him if they have a growth boost when he switches in.
Elective doesn't fit here at all. You have 2 grass, you only need electivire for gyarados really, otherwise all he does is make your ground weakness even worse. Maybe grab a volt turn room, you still get thunder, ground immunity some scouting and poke who can help with rain teams, and heatran, who destroys this team did I mention?
I'd drop arcanine for a better priority move user. Scizor, mamoswine, gallade shadow sneak, lucario, weavile, lots of good choices. I'd suggest swords dance gallade with drain punch ice punch and shadow sneak, or weavile who rules, or sableye prankster who also rules.
 
If you want to use Arcanine, it has several better options. In fact, you shouldn't be going Special at all. Try this set:

Arcanine @ Life Orb / Choice Band
Adamant / Jolly
Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-Flare Blitz
-Close Combat
-Wild Charge
-Extremespeed / Crunch

It has more power than Special Arcanine and benefits your team more (no more over-reliance on Special mons).

Also, Sleep Powder > Sludge Bomb on Venusaur. The utility provided by Sleep Powder far outweighs Sludge Bomb.
