I am planning to use Venasaur as a special wall. I am thinking of either getting one as a sassy or calm nature. I planned a moveset for it but, I am not too sure about it.
Moveset:
-Sleep Powder
-Sludge Bomb
-Leech Seed
-Synthesis/Hidden Power(Grass) or (Fire)/Giga Drain
Nature: Calm(+Sp Def,-Atk) or Sassy (+Sp Def, -Spd)

I can't really suggest anything without knowing the rest of your team.
Venusaur is really only in OU because he can be effectively utilized on Sunny Day teams. What you posted won't stop someone from switching in a counter nor will it prevent a sweeper from setting up on you.

I've personally only seen/used on a sun team, as a special sweeper, it does pretty good as a special sweeper with chlorophyll ability, never used it outside of that from personal experience

Please have a sunny day setup/Drought Ninetales on your team
He's really weather dependent to do well against most popular pokemon
Venusaur wall should be a subseeder
substitute
sleep powder
leech seed
Hidden Power Fire
252 HP/ 244 SpD/ 12 speed
Obviously, the HP fire is for grass types resistant to leech seed and it'll have a nice damage boost under sun. However, you won't really kill with it.
