My First Team - Platinum

This is my first real competitive team. I have been breeding pokemon on my Platitum for a very long time but I never really created a team until now. Please rate. I am still new at this and not very good at creating teams.

LEAD:

Timid
252 Atk/252 Speed/4 HP
@Focus Sash
Stealth Rock
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Taunt

Aerodactyl is my favorite lead. It is faster than many common leads such as Azelf. It is able to pull off both a taunt and a stealth rock before dieing. I chose Rock Slide over Stone Edge because Stone Edge is too unreliable

Bold@leftovers
252 Def/252HP/4 SpDef
Surf
Icebeam
Rest
Calm Mind

Suicune is one of my favorite pokemon of all time. After a few Calm Minds, it is able to withstand hits from both sides of the spectrum as well as OHKO almost anything. I am thinking of replacing Icebeam with Sleep Talk but I am reluctant to because Vaporeon would completley wall me.

@leftovers
Impish
252 HP/252Def/4 SpDef
Thunderpunch
Will-O-Wisp
Pain Split
Shadow Sneak

Dusknoir is an awesome tank. It is amazing at countering physical threats such as Gyarados and Scizor. Pain Split gives it some form of recovery as well as causing slight damage. Shadow Sneak is a great way to KO foes with little HP. Dusknoir also can easily switch into attacks with its many immunities.

Bold @leftovers
252 HP/220 Def/36 Speed
Thunderbolt
HP Ice
Heatwave
Roost
Zapdos is amazing. It has good overall stats. Heatwave makes it one of the best Scizor counters in the game. HP ice gives it a chance to KO Salamence.

Naive Nature
@Choice Scarf
252 SpAtk/252 Speed/ 4 HP
Flamethrower
Explosion
Hidden Power Grass
Earth Power

Heatran is the best revenge killer in my oppinion. It can destroy most steel types with Flamethrower and Flash Fire. It can deal damage to annoying bulky waters such as Milotic and Vaporeon with HP Grass. Explosion allows
it to kill anything else that stands in its way

Hasty Nature
@Life Orb
64 Atk/252 SpAtk/192 Speed
Flamethrower
Grass Knot
Nasty Plot
Close Combat

Infernape is a wall breaker. Flamethrower for STAB'd goodness. Grass Knot can KO Milotic and Suicune after Nasty Plot. Close Combat can deal with Blissey.

I really need help with this team. I feel as though it is just a bunch of random pokemon thrown together.
