I've been using Magcargo recently:
Flame body
Leftovers
Stockpile/curse
Recover
Heatwave/lava Plume(may be handy alongside Rapidash)
(Filler)
30% chance on contact,30% with lavaplume:it won't take long to burn the opponent.And with a defence stat like that,it's tricky to take down after some stockpiles.
Keep it away from water and ground(which can be difficult,I know) and it'll serve you well :)

Focus Sash-I think the opportunity to hit twice is invaluable considering you've done nothing to your defences-a counter may not be able to take two hits from Simisear.However if you're concerned about stealth rock life orb's an option!

Infernape really doesn't need the Defense EVs. It is so fragile anyway, you might as well not bother. EV train for maximum speed instead.
Volcarona can now learn Giga Drain, which is a better option than HP Ground in-game.
Typhlosion would appreciate Eruption instead of Flamethrower - it is its main selling point after all.
As for the final pokemon for the team, I would recommend Ninetales, because of Drought. It will power up your entire team and allow Typhlosion and Simisage to use SolarBeam, which is good because they have lackluster special movepools.

Maybe you can add Heat Rotom for coverage against Water-types with a strong STAB Thunderbolt.

I would go with nasty plot instead of hidden power for simisear

For typhlosion, I would go with shadow claw > rock slide
You get perfect (if not almost perfect) neutral coverage and more super effective hits than when you have rock slide.

Keep HP [Ground] on Simisear and go with Nasty Plot > Focus Blast. Flamethrower > Fire Blast.

Typhlosion is the same thing as Infernape ; it gets the same coverage. How about Charizard instead?

Charizard @Life Orb
] Timid l Blaze [
] 252 Sp.Atk. l 252 Speed l 4 HP [
• Flamethrower
• Air Slash
• HP [Grass]
• Dragon Pulse

Special set.

Or you can use:

Charizard @Life Orb
] Jolly l Blaze [
] 252 Ak. l 252 Speed l 4 HP [
• Flare Blitz / Fire Punch
• Dragon Claw
• Aerial Ace
• Brick Break / Earthquake

As previously stated, Drought Ninetales. If you need a the Drought Vulpix, I might be able to spare a few of mine.

I have one with a Mild nature, ups sp. Atk downs defense, 29 IVs for speed, 30 for sp. Atk

Thanks for the suggestion everybody.

For Archstraptor
I don't know how to play Marcargo, so I won't play it. I think I will use Focus Sash on Simisear.

For Atratus
That was a mistake, I didn't put 252 Defense on Inferape, but I accidently write Defense instead of Speed, Thanks for telling me that. I would go with Giga Drain instead Hidden Power Ground, since it is better. I will use Ninetales as my Lead and my 6th member, anyone have a good Ninetales moveset.

For Purple_Tangrowth
I would put Shadow Claw instead of Rock Slide for a good neutral coverage move.

For Aura Sensai
I will use Special Charizard because it has higher Special Attack than Attack.

Any more suggestion about Ninetales

I wouldn't reccommend Simisear. The elemental monkeys really are not that good. If you want a special Nasty Plot attacker, why not go DroughtTales? It works wonders, and also brings sun for your team.

Ninetales@Life Orb
Nature: Timid
Ability: Drought
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Moves:
-Nasty Plot
-Fire Blast/Flamethrower
-Energy Ball
-Hidden Power (Ground/Ice)/Dark Pulse

I'd say that it is pretty self explanatory. Fire Blase for power, Flamethrower for accuracy. Energy Ball and last move for extra coverage.
Lead Rapidash
Item Life Orb
Nature Jolly/Adamant
Ability Flash Fire
EVs 252 Attack/ 252 Speed/ 4 HP
Move Set
Flare Blitz
Wild Charge
Megahorn
Return/Sunny Day/Drill Run
I don't know which one is better, Return or Sunny Day

If you go DroughtTales, you don't need sunny day, so you could opt for Return, or the newly aquired Drill Run, for coverage.

Typlosion
Item Life Orb
Nature Rash/Mild/Hasty/Naive/Naughty/Lonely
Ability Blaze
EVs 252 Speed/ 124 Special Attack/ 128 Attack/ 4 HP
Move Set
Eruption (Atratus)

I may replace Typlosion with Charizard

Charizard (Aura Sensai)
Item Life Orb/Choice Specs
Nature Modest/Timid
Ability Blaze/Solar Power (with Ninetales)
EVs 252 Special Attack/ 252 Speed/ 4 HP
Move Set
Flamethrower/Fire Blast
Air Slash/Focus Blast
HP Grass/Focus Blast
Dragon Pulse
I may replace Typlosion with Charizard since it give better coverage with Inferape than what Typlosion do

With the new move tutors, Solar Power Charizard will be able to have Dragon Pulse, and have extra coverage, since Dragon/Fire covers everything bar Heatran, and if you can find a reason to, you can replace one of your other two moves with Focus Blast, and then you will have complete neutral coverage. I would also consider flre Blast over Flamethrower, wince with Fire Blast and Solar Power, it can outpower a Reshiram Blue Flare in the sun. I would consider Charizard over Typhlosion. all other add ins should be self explanatory.

Volcarona
Item Leftover
Nature Timid
Ability Flame Body
EVs 252 Special Attack/ 252 Speed/ 4 HP
Move Set
Fiery Dance
Bug Buzz
Giga Drain (Atratus)
Quiver Dance
Volcarona the Sweeper

Its fine, I guess.

Not sure about the last Pokemon, so can anyone suggest any good Fire Type Pokemon

For a sixth, I would reccommend Arcanine. With its new movepool, it gets perfect coverage with physical moves, and it gets the best priority in the game. This would be a good set.

Arcanine@Life Orb/Choice Band
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Moves:
-Flare Blitz
-Outrage
-Close Combat
-ExtremeSpeed

With this set, Arcanine can really shine. FB is STAB, and with Outrage, covers everything bar Heatran, which is easily taken care of by Close Combat. ESpeed is to pick off weakened foes, or th hit frail but fast things.

Please feel free to give some suggestion

Comments in bold. I really reccommend permanant sun. It really helps fire types.
