Hi. I have a team in Gen V that has done well so far against one of my friends, but other than that, I am clueless as to the battles in Gen V and how this team would do against more experienced trainers. I know I would do well in some battles from what I have gathered so far. I have a team of Zekrom, Ampharos, Heatmor, Snorlax, Krookodile, and lastly, Musharna. This team did well on one of my first couple of battles. I can't change the nature's of these guys, but Zekrom is timid. I don't feel confident, such that if I were to take this team to challenge people today, it would do poorly, as the nature's are something I didn't focus on too much when I played earlier last year. The point, I guess, is that no matter how many people I face, I am always a little leary of how much this team will do. I am open to suggestions on what is the proper Nature for Zekrom, for example. Thanks!
 
Zekrom is a physical attacker and would do well with either Adamant (+Atk, -SpAtk) or Jolly (+Spd, -SpAtk).
 
If you're going for VGC, you'll pretty much be following Battle Subway rules which bans Zekrom anyways. You also seem to prefer bulky, low-speed Pokemon. It may benefit the team to switch some of them for faster alternatives, like Infernape/Blaziken for your Heatmor, or Alakazam for Musharna. In fact, DW Alakazam has Magic Guard, rendering it immune to entry hazards and poison/burn damage.
 
^with fake out running around so rampent and Hitmontop+technicion ability, Inner focus has come in handy to ko the 'top with a max stat psychic from Alakazam- as 100% of the time so far I have wifi battled, they target Alakazam with fake-out (like said, the battles I have encountered....)
 
Well i have some countless objections about the Generation 5 but i will like to share the 4 and it is my favorite series but the great ideas come in to this.
