PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Grass Attacker:
Vine Whip
Frenzy Plant *
Meganium is offensively weak in Pokémon GO, outclassed by its Grass-type starter peers. As such, it is difficult to justify Meganium’s usage in PvE battles.
⚔️ Raids
Even with Frenzy Plant in its moveset, Meganium doesn't contribute any meaningful damage numbers in Raids. It doesn't offer any viability even without Megas and Shadows in contention, giving you an idea of how underwhelming it is.
🛡️ Gyms
Meganium is decently bulky but Grass types are riddled with five weaknesses (Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Poison), which also includes Mega Rayquaza as a Gym attacker. Don't keep it in Gyms. ❌
💎 The best PvE moves for Meganium are Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant.

Earthquake
🔵 Great League
Meganium is a bulky Grass type holding the rare distinction of threatening Steel types with Earthquake, and also tanking hits quite well. Unfortunately, there are a host of better Grass Pokémon that are overall better, with the main options being Venusaur and Victreebel. Beating Azumarill, Cradily, Florges, Galarian Corsola, and Primeape is appreciated though. 👍
🟡 Ultra League
While still surpassed by overall better Grass types, including the dominant Virizion and “pseudo Grass” Cresselia with Grass Knot, the ability to beat Steelix and Empoleon is nice, while also claiming wins against powerful Poison types like Nidoqueen (both regular and Shadow) and Shadow Drapion. It can't beat Cobalion and Registeel, but when you consider other positive matchups like Cresselia, Annihilape, Primeape, and Shadow Dusknoir are definitely perks.
As mentioned, you're still better off using Venusaur, Virizion, or Trevenant, but Meganium is able to hold its own in the Ultra League more than it does in the Great League, making it a good fit.
🟣 Master League
Meganium is too weak for the Master League.
💎 The best PvP moves for Meganium are Vine Whip, Frenzy Plant and Earthquake.
