In my opinion this playtest isn't really showing anything about Mollux's impact on the OU Meta because EVERY SINGLE TEAM IS USING IT.

The meta being shown is a Mollux-centralized one, which is pretty much like saying "We just introduced Starmie, so here have a playtest" and every single person uses Starmie.

To answer the "ways to deal with Mollux" question i'd say the best way is T-Tar as it comes in on the attacks (though the toxic spikes and WoW hurt it) and it can hit back on Mollux's weaker defense side. Dugtrio is great as a revenge killer unless its the scarfed mollux variant.
