Sunny day guide
Sun teams are made to abuse the harsh sun status. The effects of the sun are: Water moves deal 50% less damage, Fire moves deal 50% more damage.
Sunny day setters
The pokemon in this section are possibly the most important pokemon in a sun team as they set it up. Drought users like ninetales or mega charizard y are staples on any sun team. Prankster pokemon such as whimsicott, klefki and a few others can set up sunny day easily as well.
Charizard y: Mega charizard y is an amazing pokemon. It summons instant sun which makes it a key player in a sun team. Being a powerhouse and having a very usable special defense is also great. Charizard's movepool lets it be useful in singles or doubles. Heatwave is boosted by stab and sun so it gets double damage(not including the damage reduction for spread attacks in doubles).

Klefki: Klefki is one annoying pokemon. It has prankster for free sun setup and get's a lot of suppport moves to help it's team. Calm mind and iron defense are used for those extra defenses and draining kiss is used for some recovery. Heat rock can be used for 8 turns of sun instead of the usual 5.

Meowstic(M): Meowstic can be similar to klefki because it has barrier and calm mind for a double boosting set. It also has prankster so it can set up free sun. Having a support move pool consisting of yawn, thunderwave,swagger and fake out makes it hard to pick a moveset.

Whimsicott: Whimsicott is an excellent team support with options such as taunt, encore and knockoff. Whimsicott can further support it's team with tailwind after it sets up sunny day. You could go the boosting option and run cotton guard for a priority +3 defense boost.
