This is assuming level up moves only

Inteleon would likely stay far away from close quarters combat, due to it being a sniper. This leaves Rillaboom and Cinderace. Rillaboom is royally screwed as even though it can lower Cinderace's speed and hit it kinda hard with its Grass, Normal and Dark moves, Cinderace can increase it's speed back up with agility or flame charge, gain the high ground with bounce, and fire powerful flaming pebbles at Rillaboom. It also has counter, which is good since Cinderace can take most of Rillaboom's hits. Rillaboom's best shot is to taunt Cinderace to stop it from speed buffing then summon grassy terrain, and then hit it really hard with its moves. But that is far too situational and Cinderace wins like 8/10 times. Also, Inteleon will fire a few Snipe Shot's at the other two while their battling.

This leaves Inteleon and Cinderace. Cinderace is slightly slower, but it can buff it's speed so it has the speed edge, whilst Inteleon can half fire type damage with rain dance, so it has the durability edge. It can also use Tearful Look to lower Cinderace's offenses (and Tearful Look always hits). I think that Inteleon has the power edge, due to it having the type advantage along with it being able to debuff cinderace whilst buffing itself with rain dance. Overall:

Speed: Cinderace

Power & Durability: Inteleon

Whilst speed is important, Inteleon is a sniper and is very good at hitting its targets, meaning that Cinderace's speed won't mean much if Inteleon can hit it most of the time, and I don't think cinderace is gonna survive too many water bullets being fired at it at a speed of Mach 3 (3700 kph or 2300 mph approx). Finally, Inteleon can glide so it could rain cinderace with snipe shots from above pretty easily, making the battle very hard for Cinderace.

So I think Rillaboom is last, Cinderace comes in 2nd and that Inteleon wins this. (wow that was long lol)
