So Metagross is a relic from gen3 meta, the usual mixed bag with good stats all around. Thing is, this kind of spread sucks for singles nowadays because almost all meta mons are minmaxed, to say those 95 special attack and 90 special defense are wasted is a understatement. Metagross's typying is also terrible because psychic adds 2 terrible weaknesses in ghost and dark. Making it another prey for shadow ball and knock off spam. Metagross doesn't offer much in the usual utility deparment, unless you're looking for a suicide lead. And even then other mons do it better. Clear body is a good ability but nothing to write home about, light metal on the other hand is a joke. And about the offensive movepool... It's good. Really good. Not really amazing stab because both zen headbutt and meteor mash can miss, but the access to bullet punch and elemental punches do a lot for it. Except metagross is too slow to actually use those offensive stats. 70 base speed isn't useful at all, if it were slower but bulkier it wouldn't be such a problem. Some people will point out that agility can solve the speed issues but that will leave you with 3 moves. Metagross as is already suffers from 4 moveslot syndrome.
Drill fits on many teams as a spinner and as a rock setter. Mold Breaker ensures your rocks will go through magic bounce whenever mons with that ability are meta. And sand teams use it as a sweeper because of sand rush. I oversimplified it there because i'm tired.
tl;dr for singles drill great, gross not so much.
