zapdos is both less common (according to usage stats) and less threatening than metagross (according to frightened trainers everywhere). really don't see it as a top 10 threat right now, but maybe you could but it at number 10 (just below metagross). it is a very useful pokemon defensively, but it has been seriously on the decline in usage (unless it has made a comeback and i am just unaware), and offensively, between celebi and blissey, and with curselax becoming a bit more common, it isn't having much of an impact usually even when it is used. the increased presence of offensive cune makes it a little less useful defensively as well imo. it's still good though, and more people should use it, but i wouldn't put it on the top ten rn
