OK, if you're so smart, what ability would make this Pokemon useful?

>Changing its stats
What the fuck are you doing? Tinted Lens is all it needs. It lets Agility + LO put in work, or you can run Specs in Trick Room and just spam Bug Buzz:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tinted Lens Vikavolt Bug Buzz vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Landorus-Therian: 312-368 (81.8 - 96.5%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tinted Lens Vikavolt Bug Buzz vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Marowak-Alola: 108-128 (33.3 - 39.5%) -- 22.7% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tinted Lens Vikavolt Bug Buzz vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Tapu Fini: 156-186 (45.3 - 54%) -- 94.1% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
This thing 2HKOs just about anything not wearing an Assault Vest, and that's without even worrying about coverage.

Huge Power clone for speed.
Then it would outspeed base 130s(406 max vs 394 max)
But that may catapult it into Ubers.

Just run Timid and T-wave to cut your opponents speed. That ought to at least get it into an acceptable speed tier.

An ability that automatically sets Trick Room would probably be nice, but then it would solidify itself on TR teams and make Oranguru kind of useless in that regard.

It also has huge special attack. If you can 2HKO the meta with one move you don't need to hit anything super effectively. Bug Buzz/Volt Switch/HP Ground can cover just about anything.

Wasn't a big fan of Vikavolt, but I've been looking into it recently and trying out a fully defensive set (Bold, 252HP 252Def). It's not too bad actually since it's got decent resistances and 145 Sp.Atk is huge enough to still hit hard with no investment. I use it as a Pheromosa switch in on Battle Spot with Roost, Volt Switch and Guillotine

True, but regular String Shot still reduces both foes' speed by 2 so it doesn't have some use in doubles/vgc.
