Generally speaking, Giratina likes being Impish this gen, and none of those stats are perfect.

If you have enough time, I'd try and get an Impish one with 31 Speed and decent defences (20+). 31 Speed is almost a necessity in competitive, although you could make do with 29-30 and just make sure you put 4-8 EVs in to make it up, as you really shouldn't be any slower than maximum.

However, if you don't have enough time to reset for that, the one you have isn't bad. Calm, whilst not ideal, is not a bad nature for Giratina, but the problem is really the speed, Giratina is at 90 Base Speed, which in Übers is a fairly common speed with things like Dialga, Ho-oh, Kyogre and Groudon speed tying. Groudon is especially relevant, as you'll like to be able to WoW it before it can do any damage to you.

Tl;dr - you could do with soft-resetting for Impish w/ 31 Speed, but if that's too much effort the one you have isn't bad.

If you're interested in learning RNG, I suggest taking a look at this, but it's a bit long-winded and takes ages to get your first one right. Also really difficult on a 3DS, not impossible but difficult.

Stick with Impish or Careful, depending if you want more Defense or Sp. Def, and that's if you're using a physical attack like Dragon Tail. With no attacks or with a special attack you can use Bold or Calm.
