As far as fire being viable, delphox isn't currently. It's got a good ability reminiscent of claydol and porygon2 from years past, but it's a stage 2. I don't think it'll see much competitive use since energy acceleration would be necessary, and running emboar (a second stage 2) is not the best idea.
Then tell me how David Cohen's MagneBoar did so well to win Worlds in their time. Or Gardevoir/Gallade when Jason Klaczynski played it. Or google Cawthon's "The Truth". Or Gustavo Wada's MegaZone. 2 of those decks ran Magnezone, which had the exact same Ability(Poké-Power) that Delphox does. And even though, the fact that a deck has 2 Stage 2 lines doesn't mean that it'll immediately fail.
