I'm kind of new here so I'm not sure if i posted in the right place.

Anyways to the problem I created a sweeper team for a pokemon tournament in 2 months. However I keep noticing unbalance in my team so i was wondering if anyone can help make any changes to make it more effective

The rules in the tournament are
no legendary
no quick claw

My sweeper team

Volcarona- Modest nature,flame body
Item: need recommendation
Evs:255 speed, 255 special attack
Moves:
~Fiery Dance
~ Bug Buzz
~ Quiver Dance
~Morning Sun

Haxorus- Adamant nature, mold breaker
Item:need recommendation
Evs: 255 atk, 255 speed
Moves:
~ Dragon Dance
~ Dragon Claw
~ Earthquake
~ Brick Break

Infernape- Jolly nature, blaze
Item: Focus Sash
Evs: 255 speed, 128 atk, 128 hp
Moves:
~Thunderpunch
~Close combat
~Flare blitz
~Stealth rock

Starmie- Timid nature, Natural cure
Item:need recommendation
Evs: 128hp,128 special attack, 255 speed
Moves:
~Surf
~Thunderbolt
~Ice beam
~Rapid spin

Dusknoir-Careful nature, Pressure
Items:Leftovers
Evs: 255 hp, 128def,128 sp def
Moves:
~ Will-O-Wisp
~ Pain Split
~ Rock Slide
~ Shadow Sneak

Staraptor- Adamant nature, Reckless
Items:life orb
Evs: 255 atk, 255 speed
Moves:
~Brave Bird
~Double Edge
~Roost
~Close Combat

The idea of the team is to send infernape as my lead and use stealth rock. If it is going to get one shotted, focus sash will keep it at 1hp and I use flare blitz with blaze and suicide it.

Dusknoir is to tank/stall

Starmie rapid spin,sweeper

The rest are pretty much straight foward
 
To give an accurate rating we need to know how you distributed your EVs and which items you used. Anyway with 2 Pokemon weak to Stealth Rock your spinner will have a lot of work to do and a sweeping Starmie is too frail to stay alive that long, also because you have 2 Pokemon weak to Water and 2 to Ice, which means he will have to take lots of attacks. Consider a tougher Starmie with Revover and defensive EVs or a Tentacruel. If you want to stick with Starmie then consider replacing Volcarona and Staraptor with something that resists Stealth Rock.

Anyway add your EVs and items and I'll make further comments
 
too many violations for this rmt to meet standards required. take a look at other rmts and how theyre presented to get a better understanding of how we expect you to follow the rules set by our staff.
 
I'm pretty sure that having 255 / 128 / 128 spread is illegal. It will have a total of 511 and the legit total of EVs is 510
