Rate my team please. Fire Gym leader for cons here.

Ok, so, this is my current team as a Fire Gym leader in a pokemon league that goes to cons and gives out badges to winning trainers. I wanted to know what you guys think and if there are any pokemon you recommend i add as an overall main team. I do doubles by the way, should mention that.

Charizard Y: Modest (Mega stone)
(Drought)
Heat wave
Solarbeam
Hidden Power (Ice)
Protect

This is usually always one of the pokemon i start with. I mega on the second turn to keep the opposing trainer guessing and protect on the first to let talonflame's tailwind kick in. I use hidden power ice to one shot pesky pokemon like garchomp, gliscor, dragonite, zygarde, and rayquaza.

Talonflame: Naughty (No items held)
(Gale Wings)
Acrobatics
Flareblitz
Tailwind
Solarbeam

Talonflame i send out with charizard. I always use tailwind first unless i know i can get a OHKO in with acrobatics. He is meant to set up tailwind and use acrobatics to dwindle down the health of a pokemon i know heat wave cant take down with one shot.

Infernape: Jolly (Expert Belt)
(Iron Fist)
Fake out
Close Combat
Fire Punch
Thunder Punch

Infernape usually is the second pokemon i bring out after talonflame or charizard are knocked out, and sometimes tailwind has just started. I know that infernape and the other pokemon can out speed the opposing pokemon, so i fake out one and try to ko the other. It depends on who's out.

Chandelure: Modest (No item) Not sure what to use.
(Flash Fire)
Flamethrower
Shadow Ball
Dark Pulse
Protect

Chandelure i use based on opponents pokemon for the dark pulse, ghost stab, and resistances.

Delphox: Modest (No Item) Not sure what to use.
(Blaze)
Solar Beam
Psyshock
Heat wave
Protect

Delphox i use also based on other pokemon im fighting.

Volcarona: Modest Focus Sash
(Flame Body)
Heat wave
Bug Buzz
Quiver Dance
Protect

Volcarona based on other pokemon.


It may not seem like much, but after 50 battles per conventions, i usually only lose and give out 18 badges. I have the lowest amount of battles lost between the other gym members, but im trying to find ways to improve. Thank you very much for your time. Your help is appreciated.
 
I'd run a Blaziken rather than an infernape.

Blaziken w/ Speed Boost... (Adamant if you usually have a tailwind up, if not Jolly): Life Orb
- Flare Blitz
- Sky Uppercut
- Shadow Claw
- Protect

Flare Blitz and Sky Uppercut are self-explanatory (I prefer sky uppercut over Hi jump kick here because this set already has a lot of recoil and you'll probably only be using this secondary STAB if it's already Super Effective so if make sense to sacrifice power for not killing yourself). Shadow Claw is for extra coverage against Ghosts and Protect gives you a free turn to set up speed boost in case you aren't already tailwinded.
