Strategic tips
Overview

Mega-Venusaur can be a decent defensive Pokémon if used properly. Its access to Poison and Sleep ailments, a healing move and good defenses boosted by Slow Tough can make it hard to fall. Mega-Venusaur also trades the damage boosts from Grass Mania and Grass Master for two very useful immunities : Fire and Ice. This makes Psychic and Flying-type moves the only moves that can hit him effectively, substantially increasing its lifespan.

Proposed moveset The goal here is to make the opponent fall by using Toxic and Sleep Powder together. Synthesis allows it to heal for more staying power, and Energy Ball will deal a bit more damage thanks to Mega-Venusaur's decent Special Attack.
 * Toxic
 * Sleep Powder
 * Synthesis
 * Energy Ball

Viable moves

Sunny Day can be used by remplacing Energy Ball, in order to allow Synthesis to fully heal Mega-Venusaur, but you will lose your only attacking move.

Poison Powder has more PP than Toxic, but be careful about its 75% accuracy.

Petal Dance deals way more damage than Energy Ball, but it has recoil, so care about it too. Sludge Bomb is a viable alternative to Energy Ball as well, for a different cover. However, you won't deal damage to Steel-type Pokémons. Venoshock is the same as Sludge Bomb, but deals more damage as your opponent will be Poisoned most of the time.
