There’s only a few megas that I’d consider good designs
>The base form was already pretty simple; meaning “make it busier” is a valid extension of the creature
>Dont just add more spikes; it only worked with Beedrill because it’s defined by its spikes. All the other ones that just added more spikes (garchomp, tyranitar, sharpedo, aerodactyl, houndoom, etc) are utter failures in design
>Dont just add hair or more hair (altaria, ampharos, lopunny, etc)
>Don’t change absolutely nothing about the creature and just give it a prop or outfit change (gardevoir, kangkaskhan, sableye, gallade, etc)
>Finally, make a creature that can believable move and animate (so no salamence, swampert, slowbro)
That’s really it. Unfortunately, that limits us to like 10 megas at most

The few good mega designs are ones that take a relatively simple design, and add flair to it that has slightly more creative depth than "add spikes" or "add hair"
Really not that complicated. You can't make Garchomp look better by adding more spikes. You can't make Tyranitar look better by adding more spikes. You can't make Sharpedo look better by adding more spikes. etc, etc.
