Answer 1

Chandelure @ Assault Vest
Tera: Fire
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk/252 Spd/4 HP
Modest Nature
-Flamethrower
-Shadow Ball
-Calm Mind
-Minimize

This is the set I'm using for the Trick Magic competition in s/v next weekend. Infiltrator because you don't want to deal with those pesky light screens. Assault Vest to tank special attacks better, and pairs nicely with calm mind. Flamethrower is fire STAB. Shadow Ball ghost STAB. Calm mind, as I said, pairs well with Assault Vest. Minimize to get off some free attacks and calm minds.

Huh? I believe you don’t understand the mechanics of Assault Vest.
