[Skill Improvement] Need advice for Mega Venusaur Sand

Hi all! I'm looking for ways I could improve my team, or tips on how to play it better.

I've been running some variation of this team most of the format and I think this is the one I've been doing the best with but still has some things I'm not sure about.

Half of the team is weak to fighting, with Venusaur as the only resist, but the most common fighting type is Sneasler which Corv and Venu are able to handle most of the time, stuff like Gallade and Kommo-o can be a problem but they are pretty rare.

Another issue is that it doesn't have a way of dealing super effective damage to Garchomp, and again, 3 ground weaknesses, but 2 Immunities help in that, usually I just have to brute force the Garchomp with Hydro Pump + Giga drain and that works most of the time but not always. I previously ran other versions of the team that used Primarina or Milotic instead of Rotom-W, and that team did better against that matchup, but Rotom-W is better for Basculegion matchups and I thought having Intimidate in the team would be nice so I replaced Heat with Incin.

I also feel like I'm not using the Excadrill+Ttar combo well, If I lead with it, there are a lot of common leads like Sneasler and things with Intimidate that do well against it, and if I keep it in the back I feel like I have a hard time switching, since excadrill can't switch into a lot of things. I'm also not sure how I feel about running double Mega, M-ttar is good for the weather wars, but there are a lot of matches where I want to bring both TTar and Venu, and in those battles TTar basically has no item.

Any tips on how to improve are welcome!
