Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Giratina-O is Ubers' only offensive Defogger. Its combination of superb bulk, typing, and stellar offensive traits allows it to punish every entry hazard setter in the format, including, but not limited to, Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Landorus-T, some Arceus formes like Arceus-Water, and Gliscor. Giratina-O's Ground immunity gives it excellent opportunities to switch in on the ever-present Spikes, which allows it to act as somewhat of a wallbreaker that also happens to give Defog support, as most defensive teams will only have said Spikes as way of dealing with wallbreakers, which Giratina-O is immune to.
However, Giratina-O's strongest attack is Draco Meteor; this makes Giratina-O prone to be taken advantage by setup sweepers like Tera Fairy Miraidon, Zacian-C, Kyogre, and Flutter Mane. Hex is also a very weak move if the foe is not statused, meaning that Giratina-O will not be attacking for the majority of the early- to mid-game and instead, it'll be spreading status conditions and using Defog. Lastly, Giratina-O's poor Speed leaves it outsped by the likes of Koraidon and Arceus formes.
Will-O-Wisp spreads status to empower Hex and annoy Pokemon like Clodsire, Ting-Lu, and most Arceus formes that will regularly be switching into Giratina-O.
The given EV spread allows Giratina-O to avoid being 2HKOed by any of Kyogre's attacks without Stealth Rock while outspeeding 0 Speed Gliscor. The remaining EVs maximize Special Attack for Giratina-O to hit as hard as possible.
Tera Steel allows Giratina-O to check Pokemon like Flutter Mane. It also lets Giratina-O annoy Calm Mind Arceus formes while making it immune to Toxic from the likes of Gliscor and Clodsire. Tera Fairy can be used instead for Giratina-O to become immune to the Dragon-type attacks that will be aimed at it from Koraidon, Miraidon, and opposing Giratina-O.
Giratina-O fits best on bulky offense teams that need a way to battle Ground-type Pokemon like Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground and Groudon, and also need a hazard removal Pokemon. If clickusing ng Defog is not needed, Giratina-O can instead spread status with Will-O-Wisp and launch Draco Meteors to dent Pokemon like Ting-Lu.
Giratina-O wants to be paired with physical attackers like Koraidon, Zacian-C, Arceus-Ground, and Calyrex-I that can deal with the walls that annoy it. In return, Giratina-O can deal with the physically bulky Pokemon, like Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Landorus-T, that annoy them. Clodsire and Ting-Lu are good teammates as well, as they take on Pokemon that Giratina-O can't, like Miraidon and Choice Specs Kyogre in Clodsire's case.
Giratina-O is Ubers' only offensive Defogger. Its combination of superb bulk, typing, and stellar offensive nature(definitely don't say nature is implies that it's Modest) allows it to punish every entry hazard Pokemon setter in the format, including but not limiting itlimited to Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Landorus-T, some Arceus formes, (I'd probably drop the Arceus mention; you need Tera to beat Fairyceus which is the best SR setting Arceus and same applies for Ghostceus- maybe namedrop them if you insist on keeping them) and Gliscor. Giratina-O's Ground immunity gives it excellent opportunities of switching in on the ever-present Spikes, which makes it somewhat of a wallbreaker that also happens to give Defog support.
However, Giratina-O's strongest attack is Draco Meteor, which lowers its Special Attack in 2 stages after using it (dex info); this makes Giratina-O prone to be taken advantage by setup sweepers like Miraidon, Zacian-C, Kyogre, and Flutter Mane. Hex is also a very weak move if the opponent is not statused, meaning that Giratina-O will be, for the majority of the early to mid game stances, not actually attacking, and instead it'll be spreading status conditions and clicking Defog. Lastly, Giratina-O's poor Speed leave it outsped by threatening Pokemon in the format like Koraidon and Arceus formes.
Will-O-Wisp spreads status to empower Hex and annoy Pokemon like Clodsire, Ting-Lu, and most Arceus formes that will regularly be switching into Giratina-O.
The given EV spread allow Giratina-O to avoid the 2HKO from Kyogre without Stealth Rock in the field while outspeeding 0 Speed Gliscor. The remaining EVs maximize Special Attack for Giratina-O to hit as hard as possible.
Tera Steel gives Giratina-O a Fairy and Dragon-type resistances, allowing it to check Pokemon like Flutter Mane. It also allows Giratina-O to annoy Calm Mind formes of Arceus while making it immune to Toxic from the likes of Gliscor and Clodsire. Tera Fairy can be used instead for Giratina-O to become immune to the Dragon type attacks that will be aimed at it from Koraidon, Miraidon, and opposing Giratina-O.
Giratina-O fits best on bulky offense teams that need a way to battle Ground-type(AC) Pokemon like Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground and Groudon that also need a entry hazard removal Pokemon. If clicking Defog is not needed, Giratina-O can instead spread status with Will-O-Wisp and launch some Draco Meteor to dent Pokemon like Ting-Lu.
Special Giratina-O wants to be paired with physical attackers that can deal with the walls that annoy it. Giratina-O can also deal with the physically bulky Pokemon that beat possible teammates like Koraidon, Zacian-C, Arceus-Ground, and Calyrex-Ice. Clodsire and Ting-Lu are good teammates as well as they take out on Pokemon that Giratina-O can't, like Miraidon and Choice Specs ogre in Clodsire's case.

(This is a bit pedantic, but there are Pokemon in gen 9 that are immune to Ground moves that are not immune to Spikes [namely Orthworm]. Also, Levitate doesn't make Tina-O a wallbreaker or a Defogger; its offensive traits and/or Defog do so.)
