In the current Metagame what Megas do you think are underrated and could with the right strategy when found perform well.

Personally I tested Mega-Venusaur and Mega-Ampharos.

M-Venusaur runs into a lot of problem atm, the abundant of flying and fire types makes it quite hard. Fire types are less of problem thanks to thick fat but, flying types are a real problem. The positive its quite good into all fairy types atm with the exception of M-Gardevoir. My personal set I run is Earth Power, Gigadrain, Sludge bomb and protect. The current team I run with it it Slowking with scald, protect, psychic and trickroom if the enemy team is faster. Talonflame Acrobatics, tailwind, flareblitz and will-o-wisp for the fast mode if enemy team is slower(Galewing Acrobatics can be a live safer since it get priority even in trickroom). Kinggambit for Mega-Gengar and Psychic types, knocktow cleave, protect, ironhead and suckerpunch. Last one is Dragapult as fast attacker, honestly if its movepool would just be a little bit better it would rock, but I would argue its the most replaceable with an other Pokemon on the team.

M-Ampharos honestly suffers from its poor ability Moldbreaker is just not good enough on it. That it got both Parabolic charge and rising voltage is it only saving grace, should we get another format that about this one in power level and with terrain setter I can see it maybe getting some niche play. Moldbreaker sadly breaks any synergy it could have with Lightning Rod or voltabsorb pokemon. It needs to be played in trickroom its just too slow outside of it. Honestly the one thing it got going for it currently it hits all flying types and rain team quite hard and is somewhat neutral to good into Charizard-Y teams. Problem is Sandteams and Garchomp being used by so many people. It can use magnetic flux before mega if possible to make it more tanky if you run it with plus ability. With a slightly bigger movepool and/or better ability it could have been quite good in trickroom.

Pokemon I have not tested but think could be good, are M-Grenninja and maybe M-Chandelure should screens get more popular.

From not released mega in Champions, M-Dragalge and M-Staraptor.

I hit Masterball with this team but hit a barrier around 1800. I really struggle into trickroom teams, want to know what I could change to have better time into them. 2. I am not sure that Garchomp and A-Ninetails have the most use in this team. Wanted to ask what I could switch them for.

Venusaur: EV where choosen specifically to survive the most common threat for Mega Venusaur. It can survive Pelipper Hurrican, Guardevoir Psychic, Aero dual wing, Blizzard M-Froslass. SPA is invest so it can 2OHK pretty much anything it can hit super effective with stab since even with max investment into SPA the Pokemon it can OHK are pretty much the same as with my current investment. Edit: It can survive max SPA heatwave and Psychic from M-Delphox.

Incineroar: Bulky Fakeout, Indimdate user. Its pretty much in same EV spread I run in SV.

Rotom-Wash: as partner for Garchomp earthquake. Bulky so it can take advantage of leftovers and can get off Will-O-Wisp. Cover into Pelipper, Y-charizard, Aerodactyl. Was thinking of maybe changing to a scarf set to get faster will o wisp and then drop protect for voltswitch.

Aerodactyl: Tailwind setter, and rockslide and dual wing beat to take care of Sneasler, Ice types, and some Bug/Fighting/grass types. Its as fast as possible to get off tailwind or 1 attack before sash is activated.

Ninetails: Aurora veil setter and for changing the weather. Its pretty much fast to be able to get off aurora veil or a Blizzard. Thinking of changing Icy wind for Moonblast since currently I dont get a lot of usage of it. Overall Ninetails is one of Pokemon I thinking of replacing. Was thinking of a either pranskter mon or farigiraf with imprison for trickroom.

Garchomp: Softsand to boost earthquake. Jolly Nature and max speed investment so it can get off its attack moves. Rockslide to help with flying types. Dragonclaw for neutral hit or wideguard. Beside A-Ninetails its the pokemon I am thinking the most of changing out since its fulfills a similar role to Aerodacyl with Rockslide and my Venusaur is running earthpower. Was thinking of maybe putting Kommo in for the fighting type coverage.
