Conkeldurr
He's a murder man, congratz
Dragapult
He's better with hex in the place of shadow ball, but only if your oponnet is paralyzed by Grimmsnarl , if you don't think it'll work, it's your decision. Remenber: I'm only givin my opnion.
Cinderance
He's really good but replace pyro ball in the place of flare blitz, pyro ball has the same damage but it accuracy is lower, but is better to be a bit inaccurate than have recoil
Obs:Pyro ball can burn the foe too.
Torkoal
He's good, but idk if heat rock extends the number of turns of Drought, i think it only boosts sunny day. Make a combo using it first and then venasur, then cinderance.
Grimmsnarl
He's good but i personally prefer to use espeon cuz he can protect you from Entry hazards and supports by magical guard.
Try using this:
Espeon @ Light Clay
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Psychic
- Dazzling Gleam
Venasur
He's good .

Espeon is not a staller, it would waste a turn or two and Espeon's defenses would only be like 85,  but I agree with the Magic Bounce part.
But the Boost of Reflect and Light screen can help you, so depending on what type of pokemon is in battle you can choose betwenn reflect or light screen, both can help you survie 2 turns.
heat rock boosts drought time

grimmsnarl is good because it gets prankster and thunder wave, unlike espeon

Conkeldurr
You should let it know fling, that flame orb is not very useful without Fling, you should change out that Facade, or change Conkeldurr's held item to Black Belt.
Dragapult (I think you should get a new one)
Almost everything could change, you don't have to worry too much about dragapult's speed, you should go with Adamant, so Dragon Darts will be the startler choice for double battles, in tough situations, Dragon Tail could change the situation by switching out the enemies. Dragon Rush can inflict status, plus, it has high power. To prevent Dragon Rush from missing you should let it learn Lock-on.
Cinderace
You already have a speedy Sweeper, focus on attack, I would recommend only changing Sucker Punch, you should learn Pyro Ball, that way you have a status inflicting move and a frozen condition thawing move.
Torkoal
I am going to guess is your staller, so you should change clear smog to Amnesia, that way your defenses are equal.
Grimmsnarl
You should change Light Screen to false surrender, so that you have a move that checks to always hit. I also recommend you to torment, that way if the target uses a super powerful move, it cannot use it the next round.
Venusaur
Earth Power might not be the best and most reliable, Growth doesn't raise your stats much so don't go for it, you should change either Earth Power and Growth to Leech seed and Synthesis.

I hope I've helped!

The  strategie is that growth boosts 2 stages of atk and SpA in Sun, so for me I keep it and Earth power covers it weakness to fire types, I  think that's not good to make one sweeper becomes supports.
OBS: He's sweeper cuz in sun its speed stat is x2
conkeldurr has the flame orb for guts. Black belt is a trash item. That dragapult is a special attacker so it shoudn't have dragon darts. Dragon rush is a trash move, it doesn't inflict status and dragapult shouldn't be using lock on as it is too frail. Dragon tail is -6 priority, so pult shouldn't be using it as it's too frail. Why would you have two fire moves on cinderace? Why would you replace sucker punch when it has libero STAB and hits pult super effectively. Torkoal is a sun setter, not a staller. Also, amnesia is a trash move. Grimmsnarl, a screen setter, should NOT be getting rid of a screen for torment. Torment is a trash move. Also, false surrender sucks as evasion is banned in most tiers. How is earth power not reliable? It's  100% accurate. Why are you giving a sun sweeper status moves?

If I could downvote, I would.
