Zekrom is possibly one of the best Pokemon that can utilize the move bolt beak effectively due to its monstrous 150 Base Attack stat which gets boosted even further with its ability Intrepid sword and Its Choice Band, allowing it to plow through most walls in the metagame even if its a neutral hit. But even without its base move, it can still be very devastating with Dragon darts, As it's second STAB option which can OHKO every dragon that doesn't carry Fur Coat.
Team Options: It's always good to have a stable improof on a breaker, so something like FC Seismitoad or Primordial Sea Ferrothorn works most of the time. it also enjoys something to deal with ground types or sometimes steel types and bolt beak resists. good options for that situation would be desolate land Darmanitan or Barraskewda. One counter is scarf imposter, as it allows you to threaten the opponents Zekrom with dragon darts if they have it or if at low health scare it out with bolk beak, be careful of multi-attack variants though. Another option for more defensive teams could be the aforementioned pokemon

Another common set for Zekrom is its Poison heal set, it becomes one of the most dangerous poison heal sweepers due to its great stat and move pool, setup moves,self-improofing, and support with knock-off and status. Its main attacking option in Bolt beak gives it a very spammable move that hits just about anything insanely hard when set up, leaving OHKO's on most offensive and defensive mons alike that don't resist it. the most common second option is knock off, the reason why this is chosen over something else is for certain roles like removing leftovers or safety goggles to put things to sleep. but most importantly its for removing Imposter's Choice Scarf or Eviolite. the second status move can be interchanged between spore and will-o-wisp, they both have their uses and are equally viable. Will-o-wisp can be spread to multiple pokemon for possible chip damage but doesn't have the benefit of spore's 100% accuracy. lastly, you can choose from many setup options to help it achieve OHKO's on popular defensive mons on the switch like Melmetal or Golisopod. you can choose from either shift gear or dragon dance. shift gear gives better stats but has less PP, so it can all be depending on preference.
