Naviathan typically runs maximum Attack and Speed investment, but this Naviathan takes a bulkier approach to setup Dragon Dance multiple times and then break through defensive cores that lack the damage output to wear them down. Guts prevents burns from crippling Naviathan which is useful for dealing with Mollux. Naviathan doesn't mind losing their Flame Orb to Knock Off once they have been burned by it, though one has to be careful to not lose the Flame Orb prior to being burned as Naviathan is reliant on Guts to output meaningful damage. Wave Crash is a powerful STAB-attack that threatens an OHKO into Gliscor and many other Pokémon. Facade provides meaningful damage output when boosted by Naviathan's Flame Orb, and threatens good damage into Water resists such as Terastalized Water-type Gliscor and Dry Skin Mollux. Slack Off is what makes this Naviathan set unique, as it allows them to shrug off attacks from opponents and counteract damage from burning and entry hazards. Paired with Slack Off, Naviathan can use Dragon Dance multiple times versus more passive foes. Dragon Dance is what makes Naviathan truly shine, boosting their offenses and facilitating their wallbreaking capabilities. Due to being a Steel-type, Naviathan is immune to Mollux's Clear Smog which allows Naviathan to setup in front of Mollux. The speed investment allows Naviathan to outspeed maximum speed base 95 Pokémon such as Colossoil and Kyurem. The HP and Special Defense investment makes Mollux's Lava Plume a guaranteed 3HKO, and minimizes the damage from being burned. The Attack investment allows Facade to 2HKO Mollux, or OHKO when at +2 Attack. A Tera Type of Normal boosts the power of Facade, which is especially potent after one or two uses of Dragon Dance.

I believe :colossoil: is just a :dark: type :great-tusk:, Ice Spinner being used to hit :obliteryx: or :Hydrapple: in UU, enjoying status and not caring for Knock Off after :flame orb: activation. Its a similar approach to Athena's that prioritizes removing the hazards set by :Gliscor: & :mollux: over personal longevity. Alternatively, :Leftovers: or :heavy-duty boots: could be used to more effectively pull off Rapid Spin and instead have Guts activate through Toxic or Lava Plume burn.

If Mollux Tera's, Volt Switch out of there because it can't really do anything about Tera Fairy Mollux. Then again, Tera Fairy Mollux can't really do anything to it, either.

Choice Band allows for disgusting amounts of overkill damage, while Compound Eyes ensures measly problems like missing never affect us.
We have Triple Axel as our main damage dealer, Ice Shard to pick off Scarfers, U-Turn to bug out of bad matchups, and Stone Edge to pick off Pokemon like Moltres.
Tera Rock boosts the power of Stone Edge, as well as flipping our matchup into both Fire and Flying moves. We outspeed Protosynthesis Attack Roaring Moon and hit it with enough damage to make Mega Salamence cry, and not even Tera Flying can save it.
Are we extremely rocks weak? Yes. But that didn't stop something like Volcarona in Gen 5, and it's certainly not going to stop this bug!

Booster energy and strong contact moves becomes a curse when sticky barb is a guaranteed activation (sticky barb passes even if the opponent clicks knock off). You also OHKO with moonblast but this method punishes the roaring moon hard enough on switch-in that you don't have to worry too much about moon switching out and sweeping later. Clef is tanky enough to live acros but you can tera steel if moon teras or starts critting.

Stratagem @ Choice Specs
Ability: Technician
Tera: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe
Timid Nature
-Dazzling Gleam
-Paleo Wave
-Flamethrower
-Vacuum Wave
The gameplay is simple: You click Dazzling Gleam, and it dies. If Moon pops Tera Flying turn 1 (and it probably will), try to predict it and click Paleo Wave. It's that easy. Moon doesn't outspeed Stratagem and Stratagem is nigh guaranteed to OHKO Moon in one shot no matter what it does on turn 1. Even if Moon somehow survives clicks Brick Break or Knock Off, you will still survive to see turn 2, Albeit you'll be at Death's door. Also, feel free to replace Flamethrower with another move like Shadow/Energy Ball.
Calcs!

Stratagem @ Choice Specs
Ability: Technician
Tera: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe
Timid Nature
-Dazzling Gleam
-Paleo Wave
-Flamethrower
-Vacuum Wave
The gameplay is simple: You click Dazzling Gleam, and it dies. If Moon pops Tera Flying turn 1 (and it probably will), try to predict it and click Paleo Wave. It's that easy. Moon doesn't outspeed Stratagem and Stratagem is nigh guaranteed to OHKO Moon in one shot no matter what it does on turn 1. Even if Moon somehow survives clicks Brick Break or Knock Off, you will still survive to see turn 2, Albeit you'll be at Death's door. Also, feel free to replace Flamethrower with another move like Shadow/Energy Ball.

Skarmory @ Rocky Helmet

Skarmory @ Rocky Helmet

Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Body Press
- Iron Defense
- Roost
- Spikes
Even with Roaring Moon having access to Dragon Dance and Booster Energy to raise their Attack even further, Skarmory is able to out-bulk them thanks to the combination of Iron Defense and Roost. Body Press threatens massive damage into Roaring Moon, and after using Iron Defense it will even break through Terastalized Roaring Moon. Roaring Moon will be forced out by Skarmory, meaning they lose their one-time Protosynthesis boost which makes them significantly less threatening the next time they switch in. Once Skarmory's Rocky Helmet is removed, countering Roaring Moon becomes even easier. Spikes can be used to take advantage of Roaring Moon being forced to switch, allowing Skarmory to make progress. A Tera Type of Dragon is used to bolster Skarmory's defenses, turning both of their only two weaknesses into resistances—it is a solid Tera Type in general for them and does not do anything for the Roaring Moon matchup. The Speed investment allows Skarmory to outspeed 252 Speed Kingambit and Ursaluna—again, this does nothing for the Roaring Moon matchup.
