Bug Types tend to suck and Beautifly is no exception, actually it's the third worst bug Pokémon, after Shuckle and Beautifly's cousin Dustox. Stun Spore something, and if you aren't dead, use Substitute until your opponent switches or is fully Paralyzed, or you can't use it anymore. If your opponent switches, Stun Spore the next Pokémon, otherwise attack. Dies pretty easily but it's the best thing it can do.
Other Options
Shadow Ball for surprising Ghosts maybe, Thief because stealing an item is more or less the best thing Beautifly do. Silver Wind and Aerial Ace are options over Hidden Power Bug and Hidden Power Flying respectively.
EVs
Just max out Attack/Special Attack and Speed and give it a Timid/Jolly nature, because it absolutely won't last long.
Opinion
Don't use it, I just did that analysis because no one else would. Or you can use it on NU teams, 90 Special Attack isn't that bad. Beautifly is begging for Sleep Powder, damn Nintendo.
Counters
Basically, every move with more than 60 power, and that is not named Earthquake, OHKOs Beautifly. You'll want to hit it first because it will Stun Spore you. If you have a Guts user, just switch it in.
