Basically I want to know what is the best Pokemon and build to farm money at the school tournament.

Why rely on the Ace Acadamy Tourney when you could just call upon those same Trainers/Teachers/rivals in the Indigo Disk's League Clubroom? It's basically the same, but they get upgraded teams (they have 1 or 2 mons from Kitakami/Blueberry Acadamy). Even Geeta's team gets reworked by having her Glimmora be sent out 1st and her Kingambit be sent out last to make better use of their abilities. You can still do your money-farming strategy there.
OP might not have the DLC :/
And the Academy Ace Tournament doesn't cost BP

there are two options for two different scenarios. if you've played through the base game and haven't play the DLC then you should use Sylveon with Amulet Coin as it's item, Pixilate as it's ability and Hype Voice as it's move
Sylveon

Sylveon

Level 100
item: Amulet Coin
nature: Timid
Ability: Pixilate
EVs 252 Sp Atk 252 Speed 4 Def

-Hyper Voice

you only need Hyper voice for this Sylveon setup as you'll be spamming it all the way! you are going to need a turbo controller if you don't like mashing "A" all day though

if you have completed the DlC and played through both the "Teal Mask' and the "Indigo Disk the the entire Ace Academy Tournament will have changed so unfortunately you're going to need something a lot stronger in the form of White-Kyerum!

White-Kyerum
Kyurem

item: Metronome
nature: Timid
ability: Turboblaze
EVs 252 Sp Atk/252 Spd

-Ice Beam

same with Sylveon just spam A and Ice Beam will get stronger with each hit thanks to Metronome
WARNING this set is not guaranteed to work I am still in the process of testing this, all the Youtubers who make videos on this set do not account for Clavell as his team uses Trick Room and he often wins. I will get back to you when I am done testing, I'll comment on this with the Updated method when i'm done

me and my friends are still working out the problems with the White-Kyerum set
here is the new updated method that works after the DLC has been completed, the Kyruem-White set above works great, if you chose either Quaxly or Sprigatito. however if you chose Fuecoco then Nemona has Milotic which can kiil Kyreum and Infernape who hurts Kyruem pretty badly but Calyrex-Ice work well if you're spamming Glacial Lance and have these as your EVs
Calyrex-Ice @ Choice Scarf

Ability: As One (Glastrier)

EVs: 140 HP / 252 Atk / 116 Spe

Adamant Nature

Glacial Lance
