Heatran is a good fire Pokemon. Its steel type and good defenses let it switch into a lot of different attacks, and its base 130 special attack and good movepool means it’s not passive and can threaten a lot of opponents. It also learns stealth rock.

Blacephalon has good speed, special attack, and offensive typing. It can break walls by using calm mind or revenge kill when holding a choice item.

M-Charizard Y is a pretty good fire-type with its high speed. But there are downsides to this fire Pokemon, because it is extremely susceptible to Stealth Rock, which already deals half of Charizard’s HP upon switch in. Stealth Rock is pretty common among supporting Pokemon, like Smeargle, Shuckle and Ferrothorn for set-up, so I’d like to suggest something else:

I’ve did quite a lot of experiment in OU, and although this is kind of common, I still think Specs Volcanion is a pretty ideal attacker.

Volcanion @ Choice SpecsAbility: Water AbsorbEVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpDModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Steam Eruption- Sludge Bomb- Earth Power- Fire Blast

I think Victini is also worth considering:

Victini @ Normalium ZAbility: Victory StarEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Celebrate- Searing Shot- Stored Power- Focus Blast

Victini @ Choice BandAbility: Victory StarEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- V-create- Bolt Strike- U-turn- Zen Headbutt

Lastly, Volcarona is fantastic, as well. This set goes exceedingly well. However, please beware that Volcarona takes Stealth Rock pretty badly too.

Volcarona @ Choice ScarfAbility: Flame BodyEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Fiery Dance- Bug Buzz- Hurricane- Giga Drain

Of course there are others, but I strongly recommend these few.
