Beautifly has only one stat remotely resembling "decent" and that's Special Attack, so try this if you want it to do any damage at all. Hidden Power Ground is mostly for Mawile and other Steels Beautifly may run into.
Paralyze anything you can with Stun Spore and attempt to hurt stuff with Bug Buzz. Shadow Ball hits Rotom and Banette, while Psychic helps against Poison-types like Swalot. U-turn can give Beautifly a free, weak hit against a paralyzed foe, or scout for others.
Other Options
Nothing really, Beautifly is way too fragile to attempt Roost or Whirlwind.
EVs
Max Speed and Special Attack for the Choice Specs set. Max out HP and Special Attack on the Stun Spore set.
Opinion
It isn't the worst Bug-type around, but it is pretty close. Stun Spore and a usable Special Attack stat are the only positive things about Beautifly, which are worth very little when it dies so easily.
Counters
Rotom resists Bug Buzz and easily KOs with Thunderbolt, but watch out for Choice Specs Shadow Ball. Any of the NU/UU Steel-types can take it quite easily. Just take advantage of its many weaknesses and terrible defenses; it'll die in no time at all. Stealth Rock strips it of 50% of its HP, so if you've got that on your side, Beautifly will be even easier to take down than it already is.
