Metagross can run a defensive set in the rain to counter tornadus-t, tyranitar, jirachi lati@s, scizor, kyurem, toxicroak, and deo-d... Tornadus only does like 25-30% with hurricane while metagross gets a clean 2HKO with an uninvested ice punch. That's something I guess. A set with Meteor mash/Ice punch/earthquake/Toxic is pretty solid. What defensive metagross has over jirachi is larger physical defense which lets it wall tyranitar and toxicroak. 252/252+ careful is most ideal, it's really the only niche metagross has. It's not a bad one though.
