The Sash lets Cutiefly ignore defensive shortcomings for one turn. Use that turn to get Sticky Web up, and Sweetveil squeezes extra value from the position. Max HP and Speed EVs push damage output.

Breeding's the move. Baton Pass and Bestow give Cutiefly options it can't learn any other way, and Grass and Flying coverage and more already covers a decent range on top of Moonblast and Bug Buzz. The egg moves push it further.
