Err...Leech Seed/Toxic is usually useless against humans because 1 switch will nullify everything. Only for the Factory I guess...
On the contrary, SubSeed is quite effective, because your opponent has to take a turn to break the sub, exposing it to Leech Seed. The basic idea is that you switch in, Substitute while your opponent switches out or using a slower status move, then Leech Seed. If your opponent stays in to kill the Substitute, they get Seeded, and you can keep Substituting by using the HP regeneration from Leech Seed. If your opponent switches, you have a free turn to remake your Substitute or Seed the switch-in.
If the rest of your team is more defensively oriented, Toxic can be a nice bonus.
As previously noted, though, fast pokemon will shut down Meganium with Taunt, or just outspeeding it and attacking before it can remake its Substitute. SubSeed is more commonly run on
Sceptile.
