Plants Vs. Zombies TIER LIST - Ranking the Plants From Worst to Best!

Time for a Plants Vs. Zombies tier list! Many people in the PvZ community have made numerous tier lists to rank the plants from Plants Vs. Zombies, but I never found myself agreeing with many of them. In this video I'll be doing my own Tier list with explanations on the strengths & weaknesses of the plants!
Some tools/cheats were used for the sole purpose of speeding up recording & focusing on the game, such as level selector and auto pickup for Sun & coins so it's easier to focus on the game and less distracting.
Tool I used to make my tier list: tiermaker.com/create/pvz-best...

[@rafaelalvesoliveira245]

Is a starter plant what the hell do u expect???????

[@Nhan6241]

Peashooter is a fine plant, but is a great starter to introduce you to the world of PvZ. It's simple to understand, good price (not too cheap but not too expensive so you can't just spam it without consequences), do okay damage in early game. It is flawed, but that flaw is the reason why other plants existed in the first place.

[@soyalex537]

@@Somespideronline i think both are, but if you ask people which one is better most of them are going to say peashooter

Pea shooter is basically the crowbar or the USP of Half Life. Basically iconic looking and a decent starting weapon but you must be suicidal to use exclusively it in later levels

[@romanpattysstuff]

I think the main disadvantage of Garlic is that we get it too late. Perhaps if some plant in the Fog (Pumpkin for example) was swapped with Garlic, people would've used it more.

Fog would have been perfect for garlic. Could have easily combined it with starfruit for some interesting strategies at that stage of the game and more people would have seen the value in both.

I dont know why sm people think it’s useless, its very useful imo. Kills ALL balloon zombies on screen and gets rid of ALL the fog. Cactus may get rid of Balloon’s ability, but it won’t insta-kill like the Blover does. Plantern can light up a small area of fog, but Blover clears all of the fog

Here's a quick question to ask yourself if you doubt the list: If you have every plant unlocked and you play a random level from any gamemode, which plant would you most likely choose? Trust me, if you have every plant you would never use hypno shroom or cactus by choice.

[@mysterysecret6815]

Starfruit is very good for sure. His explanation for why Starfruit is high also makes a lot of sense. In fact I would say him putting Starfruit that high isn’t controversial at all. His actual most controversial plant should be Puff Shroom as best plant. He only gives one good explanation that gives it S+ qualities which is it is op at night. But for everywhere else his explanation is extremely questionable. It can stall? Like that’s it? And he literally doesn’t further explain and then literally goes on about pvz2. If he’s willing to use that argument to make Puff Shroom as best then he should automatically put the 25 fast recharge plants at like A because they do the same thing while being a bit more expensive but he doesn’t. Puff Shroom is absolutely not the best plant unless we pretend like night and fog is the only thing that exists. It’s very good but definitely not best.

Sure, hypnotizing a disco may be able to theoretically clear crowds at a cheaper cost than say a doom shroom or a cherry bomb, but the incredibly long recharge of the hypno shroom comboed with how inconsistent it is, given you have to plant it right in front of the disco zombie and get a coffee bean to go off on it without it being killed, and hope that no other zombies are also eating it that could become hypnotized. That's not even mentioning that it requires you to have not damaged the disco much, and that disco is a fairly uncommon zombie.
