Speed Boost stacks Calm Mind while raising Speed and passes the boosts on with Baton Pass — a Baton Pass Espathra. By raising its physical bulk and Protect as well, it can rack up activations of the ability Speed Boost and Calm Mind's trigger attempts.
Speed tuned to outspeed Mega Gyarados
With 9 Speed EVs, Speed Boost just once is enough to outspeed a Dragon Dance-boosted max-Speed Mega Gyarados.Recommended EV spread to act first.
Pass self-boosted Speed/Sp.Atk/Sp.Def directly to Build board where team aces start pre-boosted for sweeping — its role. Lowering the opponent's Sp.Def by 2 stages, Lumina Crash, it can also stay in to wear down the opponent.
Weak to weakness-hitting special attackers
No Sp.Def EVs, so high-power weakness special attackers risk OHKO.If KO'd before Baton Pass, load on teammates increasesso use with caution.

With EVs in HP, both defenses, and Speed to secure more turns of action, this is a Baton Pass Espathra build. The ability Speed Boost and Calm Mind are combined to raise its stats, and the boosted stats are passed to an ally ace via Baton Pass.
EV Allocation Intent
By raising HP and Def with EVs, it becomes hard to KO with priority moves. Also, by allocating EVs to Speed as well, Sleep Powder makes it possible to move first even against the troublesome Vivillon.
Stored Power is also recommended
Lumina Crash instead, Stored Power is also recommended. When the ability Speed Boost or Calm Mind raises stats by a total of 4 stages or more, Stored Power's power exceeds that of Lumina Crash.
Colbur Berry and Sitrus Berry are also recommended
Colbur Berry or Sitrus Berry are also recommended. Holding the Colbur Berry lets it take Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave or 
Black Glasses boosts its Sucker Punch as well. Additionally, when holding a Sitrus Berry, set HP to an even number so that Super Fang is activated when taking it too.
Protect blocks the opponent's attacks while buying turns to raise Speed via its ability, and a role of supporting the follow-up ace with Baton Pass — its role.Mental Herb with Encore once while lowering the opponent's Sp.Def, Lumina Crash to interfere with the board — a flexible, viable playstyle.
Weak to Dark types
Against Dark-type Pokémon, Lumina Crash has no effect and you get hit on a weakness.Protect or an ally's Follow Me to block incoming moves, while Baton Pass to switch into a later Pokémon.
