Mega Venusaur finds a solid position on Poison teams thanks to its secondary Grass typing, good natural bulk, and helpful set of tools. Giga Drain threatens Water- and Ground-types like Barraskewda, Swampert, and Great Tusk. Hidden Power Fire is used to deal with Steel-type Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor. Leech Seed provides recovery and forces out bulky targets such as Blissey. Earth Power threatens Fire- and Poison-type targets like non-Air Balloon Heatran and Toxapex. Sludge Bomb handles Fairy-types like Mega Altaria, Ogerpon-W, and Tapu Koko along with being able to spread poison, thus chipping foes down. The given EV spread is used to maximize Mega Venusaur's bulk while still allowing it to outspeed Adamant Azumarill.

Alolan Muk serves as a solid partner for Mega Venusaur, being a specially defensive wall capable of threatening Psychic- and Ghost-types like Tapu Lele, Galarian Slowking, Blacephalon, and Gholdengo. Galarian Slowking can handle threats such as Volcarona, Zapdos, and Kyurem, which easily blast through Mega Venusaur. Crobat provides Defog support, granting Mega Venusaur safe entry, and it can also deal with threats such as Mega Gallade with Brave Bird and Substitute Hydreigon with Infiltrator Toxic. Toxapex complements Mega Venusaur as a physically defensive wall, capable of taking on foes like Mega Scizor, Galarian Zapdos, and Weavile along with providing Z-Haze for boosted threats like Kommo-o. Offensive threats like Sneasler, Nidoking, and Nihilego appreciate Mega Venusaur being able to take hits from bulky Ground-types like Clodsire and Hippowdon. In response, Sneasler can remove specially defensive threats like Hisuian Goodra and Blissey thanks to its powerful Close Combat, Nidoking can remove threats like Corviknight, Gliscor, and Gholdengo thanks to its diverse and offensive movepool, and Nihilego can handle Fire- and Flying-type threats like Volcarona, Mega Charizard Y, and Tornadus-T.
