This is likely because most plants are weak enough that they would die almost immediately, and it would be very difficult to get a proper defense up.The peas from the Peashooter Zombie (and Gatling Pea Zombie) do less damage than a zombie's bite.When hypnotized, it attacks other zombies with peas and can be hit by other peas from zombies. Other peas from zombies also cannot hit it. When hypnotized, it will continue to launch peas to the player's house which still damage plants and cannot hit other zombies.Speaking of Garlic, they have a higher amount of health than most other plants, meaning they can be used instead of other defensive plants to block Peashooter Zombie's peas if you are going for Wall-Not Attack, as they don't count as a defensive plant. Garlic would also work to divert this zombie into another more heavily defended other lane, although you would have to pay close attention to quickly refresh them. Spikeweed and Spikerock also work, since they cannot be hit by peas, although it may take more than one, though (especially for other, tougher ZomBotany zombies).

Potato Mines, when armed, can instantly kill one of them, and they cannot be damaged by peas as well. Peas cannot hit the Puff-shrooms, and they can easily take down a normal zombie. If you like, use a Puff-shroom woken up by a Coffee Bean because a Peashooter Zombie is basically a regular zombie with the same speed and health as a normal zombie that shoots peas.

However, use defensive plants such as Wall-nuts to protect Sunflowers and other plants against their peas. Like Peashooter, it fires a pea every 1.5 seconds, each pea deals about 20 damage per shot.Īs they have low toughness, just kill them however you would to a regular Zombie. Peashooter Zombie absorbs 200 damage per shot and its appearance changes upon absorbing 100 damage per shot before dying at 200 damage per shot. Dinner doesn't sound so appealing now, eh?! Now, you might enjoy peas with your dinner, but when you combine a pea and a zombie you're in for big trouble. This is why our scientists have called him Peashooter Zombie. Note that the description here is from the Plants vs Zombies: Official Guide to Protecting Your BrainsĪ rare sort, Peashooter Zombie has a Peashooter for a head and fires peas.
