Beautifly (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Psychic
- Giga Drain / Hidden Power [Fighting]

Quiver Dance is setup to manage it to do some damage.
Bug Buzz is good STAB.
Psychic hits Fighting types and Poisons.
Giga Drain hits Waters and Rocks and is some healing, but Hidden Power Fighting can be used to hit Steel- and Rock-types.
Modest nature and Life Orb is for maximum damage output.

Beautifly @ Focus Sash
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Giga Drain
- Bug Buzz
- Stun Spore / Psychic / Shadow Ball / Air Cutter

This is really standard. Use Quiver Dance to set up while you tank a hit with Focus Sash. Then, use Giga Drain to heal up. Psychic and Shadow Ball are extra type coverage, and Stun Spore can be useful for Paralyzing before switching out if need be.

Beautifly is so frail Roost isn't that good. Air Cutter has a BP of 55, so it's not that good either. Otherwise, this set is probably the best for Beautifly atm. I wish it was better, though. I really like the design.
Kinda sad it doesn't get Air Slash or Hurricane.
