Growth will give (+2 instead of +1) for both Atk and SpA, Synthesis will heal 2/3rd total health, Solar Beam will need no charge turn and Weather Ball will permanently have Fire coverage

Tapu Bulu created Grassy Terrain on switch-in, could hold an item and didn't require your Mega slot.

Fairy/Fire/Grass is a really good coverage, Mega Meganium can even drop the Grass attack for Synthesis to heal 2/3rd HP or Knock Off for mixed attack and utility because Growth boost both Atk and SpA.

Even at +2 Atk, your Knock Off won't do very much damage to neutral targets. Your Fairy STAB is Dazzling Gleam which isn't very powerful either. Meganium will be very reliant on the high base power on Weather Ball and Solar Beam. It has good resistances but also a multitude of common weaknesses and while it's not slow, it's not fast either. It will be able to get a boost off fairly consistently due to its bulk, but I just don't see it sweeping teams.

I think UU viability in Gen 9 is optimistic. Imo it's gonna be ranked RU. The power level has increased a lot.
