Not really good, but Girafarig itself isn't good. Pass Calm Minds to other Pokémon or attempt to sweep after some Calm Minds with Girafarig itself. Girafarig can't do much more than this.
Once again, you Baton Pass either Calm Minds or Agilities as well as Substitutes and Wishes. It can't attack at all, as you see, but it can make some good support if used right. Of course there are far better options, but this gives you some diversity in what you can actually Baton Pass.
Other Options
Wish is generally superior to Rest, but with Early Bird, you only sleep for one turn. Reflect and Light Screen passing is another good option for Girafarig because it is so horrible to begin with. Girafarig is one of the few Pokémon that can use Baton Pass and Taunt, but it also learns Thunderbolt to hit most Pokémon that would Roar / Whirlwind.
EVs
Focus on Girafarig's HP and defenses so it can stay alive long enough to get off the Baton Pass.
Opinion
Girafarig is horrible, but can be used as a diverse Baton Passer in the UU environment. Its type is unique, letting it lose the Ghost weakness due to its Normal type side. I wouldn't recommend this, though.
Counters
Almost anything. Anything that's faster and with enough Attack to OHKO Girafarig is a counter. Anything with enough Special Defense to take a hit from Girafarig and then OHKO it is a counter.
