This was exactly the set i was about to post....

But anyways good job might go for timid instead for modest because he might need the extra speed even after quiver dance but yea
Ev Trained with a 99 base ( After Quiver Dance ) Is normally enough to outspeed most, he needs the Special Attack boost to be honest.

This is probably gimmicky but oh well.
Gen 7 ZU

Mothim (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Lunge
- Toxic / Defog
- Roost
- U-turn

Lunge is STAB that lowers the opponent's attack every time it hits. Toxic is to poison Pokémon switching in. Defog can be used instead to clear entry hazards on your side. Roost is for healing. U-Turn is for pivoting.
