Any use for meganium?
I caught a 97% IV bayleef in the wild so that sped up the process since chikorita doesn't spawn often in my area.
I was happy to see double grass moves in the form of razor leaf and solar beam but then I thought about it... Is it even worth it to use? I already have a venusaur and tangela with vine whip/ solar beam and an army of exeggutors with grass and psychic moves so is it just a nice trophy or does it have some use somewhere?

It's pretty much on equal footing with Tangela if it has vine whip/solar beam.
The only real niche for Meganium (and Tangela, Bellosom) is the pure grass typing: It will be a better choice than the other dual typing grasses (Venusaur, Vileplume, Exegg) when there's a situation where the other typing cripples them (e.g. Psychics cripple venusaur, meganium resists ground when venusaur doesn't) but in all other cases, venusaur will prove to be better. Same story for exegg vs bug (double weak vs single weak) and exegg vs dark... you get the picture
Do bear in mind, Tangela has a next evolution in Tangrowth (can't remember if Gen 3 or 4) which is a beast!! but that's another topic of discussion for later.
" is it just a nice trophy or does it have some use somewhere"
If you get a good moveset, it's one of the best prestigers in the game against the 2 most common gym defenders in the my area -- Rhydon and Vaporeon. My CP ~1400 VW/SB Meganium sees a lot of gym battle time (for training up gyms), among my top 5 in terms of how often I choose it for battles.
