Most of them have a weakness of fire and to be defensive
Please try to be more thorough/specific when posting a rate for someone's team. It's hard to understand exactly what you're trying to say. ;(
Anyway, Staryu_Beast. The Whimsicott set that Snorelacks posted is a very effective set. Probably one of the best sets out there for Whimsicott. However, it's not really friendly to newer battlers. It requires a deeper sense of prediction that might be a bit complicated for you. I encourage you to try it as it is a wonderful recommendation, but you might benefit a little more from abandoning Whimsicott all together. PlatinumDude's Tangrowth set is a fine choice. Other Pokemon like Venusaur has found it's way into OU, credited to the fact that it does so well under Sun. So, at the risk of not reading all the posts before me, I'll post a set for Venusaur because I don't believe it's been suggested yet.
Venusaur @ Life Orb
Chlorophyll
4 HP / 252 Special Attack / 252 Speed
Modest [+Special Attack; -Attack]
- Growth
- Energy Ball / Solar Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Sludge Bomb
Growth is the most important move of the set, boosting Venusaur's already good Special Attack to devastating levels. The Life Orb and a Modest nature succeed that even more. Giga Drain is illegal with Chlorophyll, so Energy Ball is your best STAB option. Alternatively, with the Sun, Solar Beam is equally as viable and ten times as deadly. With a Growth boost and Sun, HP [Fire] will OHKO most every Steel type you encounter (save Heatran). Sludge Bomb is your second STAB option, but Sleep Powder can also be used to neutralize most of Venusaur's common threats. If Heatran is that much of a problem (which it is because it pretty much walls this set up and down) than HP [Fighting] can be used against it. But it's pretty much exclusive. Synthesis is also a viable option, but in this case Venusaur would prefer as much offense as it can get.
So, that's all I got for now. I might be back later. Good luck with your team! :D
