Hey, I don't think bowling bulbs and chard guard are underrated. This two has their own strat like bowling bulb as DPS in certain arena buff/bruise and chard guard is one of the strat where ppl throw zombie off screen and killing it

[@shybandit521]

i know we arent talking about arena mode here, but coconut cannon is actually kinda OP in arena mode. the plant food pushes zombies to the back, where they give the most points, and then its a huge damage explosion, not to mention that it already kills groups of zombies really fast on its own.

[@Mikeinator_]

I have no idea why Guacodile has a ranged attack, it's so counterintuitive. With the ranged attack, you want to place it in the back to take advantage of it, but its melee only works up close, so it wants to be placed at the frontlines! This is probably why people are so confused about it.

[@DocSlayingyoudown]

It's probably because of the big wave beach, the beach's main purpose was to pierce through defences, and common players always place their ranged plant to defend their Sunflowers (In an era where Sunflower are always on the back), also Guacodile is a cheap frontline plant which could protect more expensive plant like Banana Launcher and Bowling Bulb because back then players like to use cheaper plants like peashooter to protect their stronger plant

[@iam4026]

Really? I’ve always seen Guacodile as a melee plant first, and his seeds were just a bonus attack should the zombies not reach him yet

[@thepizzaman6310]

Parsnip is like a guacadile that makes sense. A combo of a melee attack and a death rush both encourage frontline use, so it is very obvious how to use it.

[@Eliza-hb1nc]

same for pea-nut, but that has high health instead of a melee attack.

[@ethangnasher3848]

I use them in both scenarios, just to have an insurance to weak zombies getting through thanks to hordes. Kinda works.

[@icouldntthinkofagoodname7216]

To be honest, I use Bowling bulb on Arena more than I have expected specially during those plant food use when planting them. Really clears out a lot, I mean A LOT of Zombies on Arena. The bounce explosive really made me rise from wooden to bronze silver league

@@ahuman32478 yeah, char guard is immensely useful against Gargantuars where your plants can’t kill it before he kills them.

[@GNVS300]

The only reason i've never really used Chard Guard is because I primarily use defensive plants in conjunction with melee plants, which makes Chard Guard counter-intuitive.

[@BramLastname]

Chard Guard seems like it's supposed to be used with plants like infinut, levitater and primal pea shooter, As the knockback helps them to do what they are meant to do. Also Chard Guard is a cheap and effective counter against flying zombies, backline intruders and Jurassic Bullies, Which is a niche that makes Jurassic Marsh so much more manageable.

[@lolucorn1]

​@@BramLastnameI am a Chard Guard user and I use it in conjunction with infi-nut in order to create very reliable stalling lasting almost the entire game. I also use banana launcher as a main attacker so having them clump up every zombie makes it insanely satisfying

[@BramLastname]

[@elkingoh4543]

It was more fun to use in Pirate Seas

[@mannydani9180]

I think another underrated one from my experience is rotobaga. If i hadn't seen your vid on Big Wave Beach, i would have NEVER thought to bring it and allow me to win (relatively) painlessly since it's a strong option to drop in the front half of the lawn that you're not gonna be using otherwise and the fact it ignores water...i love it

[@ZombieMiraculer74]

I have to agree mate. Other than those you mentioned, it is also helpful against backward zombies attacking the left side of your lawn. I think most Frostbite Caves obtained plants are considered underrated as well.

[@grassperrysvn4543]

like bro , rotobaga + infinut is unstoppable

[@liber2350]

I feel like bowling bulb is only underrated because it’s homeworld is big wave beach, which has consistent buckethead spam so it can’t regain its large bulb, alongside the difficulty of using instant use plants

[@quackers519]

Well everything that’s not instant use is covered in octopi

[@PonConAgain9718]

Same case with Banana Launcher. It's a perfect counter to all the annoying zombies in Big Wave Beach, bug it's unlocked so late into it that it doesn't have a use. The few levels of BWB you have it for don't work for it, and the majority of Modern Day doesn't either, as the portals lead zombies directly into your defenses

[@LoarvicLoarvic]

Guacodile is like the Bladesinger in DnD: it can do ranged damage to those who haven't reached it yet, but when they are...oh, they'll regret it.

[@Bodacious_Crustacious]

Gonna say it because apparently this is unknown. Chardgard is one of the best plants because of it's hidden ability. It can be repaired with the Repair Nut Perk. So you can plant another one on the original to heal it, plus plant food repairs it as well, making the plant harder to kill if used right.

[@helm36]

Repairing is worse than shoveling the plant and then replanting it because you don't receive % of the sun back. This ability is pretty much useless unless you have protecting the plant or don't lose more than x plants as an objective. You can also make a point that repairing is easier and faster but like meh, it's half a second

[@Bodacious_Crustacious]

@@helm36 Shoveling isn't necessary in most cases either way.

Chard Guard also matches up well against a lot of annoying Zombies, Most notably Jurassic Bully, Chicken Wrangler, Prospector and most Gargantuars.

[@KhajaSodhu]

@@BramLastname I've beat Ancient Egypt day 23 with chard guard and I have to say. Chard guard is not that good with gargs. Maybe because I'm using it like an instant. But Gargs usually just smash the chard guard before it pushes back

[@bandibandibandibandi]

Your video dedicated to bowling bulb taught me the secret power of this plant and it's one of my favourites in the whole game now lol

[@KPoWasTaken]

For me if a plant is really really good even if it gets outclassed then it's underrated if majority of community considers it bad. Most underrated plants are usually hard to use plants that are really good or really good plants that still manage to get outclassed. Or it's just a plant having a 2nd trait (such as guacodile being a peashooter) that is useless making others not focus on the good trait. I use coconut cannon quite a lot when replaying the game but then other plants that outclass it appear and then it's ditched. This is what sucks. Wait chard guard is underrated? I thought most people knew it was good, even Wolfy Playz figured out it is good and he is normally not that good at PvZ. Banana Launcher is an extremely good plant but it's a harder (but not too hard) to use plant but since it appears so late you don't have time learn how to use it to it's fullest potential

[@sophielei1523]

to long

[@BramLastname]

I recognize that Banana is a good plant, But as someone who's not great at managing manual plants, I prefer Coconut Cannon over Banana. Tho I dislike Magni, despite it's easy usage, Because if I've got the sun to use it I could just use it on improving my defence or instas. So Magni just feels like it's a hassle.

I just feel that the linear adventure kinda breaks the game, since any important improvement in the worlds wasn't made, and plant unlocking became a little confusing (principally due to locked and loaded levels showing future plants), and after the adventure ends, the only possible way to test your plants is penny's pursuit, since arena is just op plant spam...

[@biscuitporkasmealchoice6741]

I genuinely don't get how people underrate chard guard so badly. It's one of the strongest "walls" in the game, and it's one of the most versatile plants too. The only place it struggles at all is in Neon Mixtape. It has some amazing synergies like with primal potato or even infi-nut. There's honestly so few plants that don't benefit from chard in some way. I'd also like to add that banana launcher is a pretty nice bonus pick even when your team isn't built around it. You could start bringing it in late game to snipe zombies that really mess with you like octopus, wizard, etc.

[@alejanproh2961]

a lot of these plants are great as long as you know how to print sun like US department of treasury prints money, a skill many newer players don't immediately grasp. also, I don't think magni really forces the player to run it as the sole damage dealer. you can use it with literally anything as long as you can produce enough sun, and even as a pseudo insta, due to its cheap cost and fast recharge, similar to guac, but with more focus on single target damage. sometimes it's even preferable to use it with some aoe plant because wasting 50 sun on basics and 100 on coneheads can be draining if the level is spammy enough.

[@MikhailAurellio]

True

[@gaerekxenos]

I actually hate using Magnifying Grass for this very reason. I stock up tons of sun to spam Turnip Tiles for enhanced spam, so it directly runs counter to my goals

[@gamermikemain111]

I like mag in early game and then using it on the stronger enemies later on as I set up stuff like winter melon as I ramp sun by spamming sun shrooms

@KhajaSodhu if we arent including seed packets or premiums then either infinut or primal wall nut.

[@zerotimeleft]

@@LozerLudo primal nut is so good lol

[@WoodpekazYT]

fun fact: if you convert the amount of sun you get from one sun to make it 25, along with dividing every plants cost by 2 because you would still have to collect the same amount of sun (for example peashooter would be 50 as you would normally collect 2 sun to buy one with 50 sun meta), plants like winter melon and banana launcher which are really expensive, only cost 250, which is cheaper that a threepeater from pvz1

[@thunderred5263]

But the amount of zombies in this game is also a lot so a 50 sun meta fits just perfect also sun producers dont drop their first sun as soon as plants in the first game did

[@KhajaSodhu]

@@thunderred5263 However there's much more sun producers in pvz2 than in pvz1. I think there Are 12 in Pvz2 whilst there were only 3 in pvz1 The best sun producer is obviously sun bean I'm kidding sun bean is one of the worst plant in this entire god damn game.

[@LozerLudo]

not sure if its too effective but i find using gaucodile + hurrikale together to be really fun

While they don't synergise directly, They both allow you to have more control over your lanes, So it's not a bad combo, Since you can Hurricale one row, And then Guacodile another row.

[@Have_some_plasma]

For me Guacodile is a FRONTER plant. Like it's so forward it goes in front of the Wall-nuts so that it still shoots but it does have the capability to rush down lane if things go a bit haywire. But hey you can still plant it directly on top of a zombie to deal direct damage.

[@fayescarlet]

As someone who mainly uses Winter Melons as my main attacking plant, with Gold Bloom and Imitated Gold Bloom acting as bursts of sun for planting early level... I'm surprised to hear it's underrated. I honestly feel like Winter Melon is my crutch sometimes, since I rarely go any level without it in levels where I pick my plants. The slowing effect and heavy damage is just too valuable.

[@larrymantic2635]

I disagree with the fact that Magnifying Grass can only be used as a main attacker. Yes, it can be used as a main attacker, but it also works as a support plant. If you only place 2 columns of sun producers, then Magni becomes a great support plant that can eliminate dangerous threats that your main attackers can’t handle. If you spam sun producers, then Magni becomes a main attacker.

[@azeria1]

Ok what if a modded version of the game had it so bowling bulb need you to press on it to release the bulbs and you could wait for the high damage ones to come back obviously it would still need adjustment but I think that’s a good way of getting more people to like and use it or just give it to them earlier

[@danielrosales221]

Eclise makes it so that the bowling bulb can only see a couple tiles in front of him. That way, he can regen his bigger bulbs a lot easier and thus, more damage!

[@aidancode]

Making bulb a manual plant kinda removes his whole downside... it'd become too strong and less complex.

[@greenkitty1]

That would turn it into one of the most powerful plants, manual plants in general tend to be fairly good, and considering bowling balls gimmick it would turn it into *the* dps plant

[@stantonpayne6906]

Bowling bulb is actual op in arena when you use its plant food especially in boosterama

[@s.o.k.1393]

I think coconut cannon is better than banana launcher because it's more spammable. It's easier to use so you won't spend all of your time clicking around, and also you can't miss a shot because it'll always explode on some zombie. Also, its vertical splash makes it better when spammed. Also, it isn't outclassed by winter melon, the two actually synergize. Take the winter melon/ coconut cannon combo into endless and you can beat literally any level if you can survive the early game.

I think the best way is to stockpile Guacodiles at the front as much as you reasonably can, and then not only are you getting the rush down damage, but also the chip damage that may help too. It is an Enforce-Mint Plant, which usually encourage you to plant them near the front. But you may plant them at the back if it is for an emergency, or you can stockpile em on the back to counter Prospectors or help with Pterodactyls with stuff like Bonk Choy or Celery Stalker at the side.

Maybe you mistaked "underrated" and "overrated" because i see a lot of times that someone puts red stinger higher than threepeater, torchwood, rotobaga, starfruit, dandelion and peapod.

For me this plant is a bit better than - repeater, but i just cannot understand. Why in tier list everyone puts red stinger at the same rank as: grapeshot and parsnip

All of these plants are my favorite plants to use on levels, even though I haven't went to arena mode yet. Winter Melon, Coconut Cannon, and Banana Launcher are plants that are just completely ignored just because they are more expensive when planted when they have actual more power than most plants. Winter Melon does both chilling and heavy damage like in the original game which is completely powerful when used in endless survival mode, Coconut Cannon and Banana Launcher packs the massive damages to their targets, even in groups. For Bowling Bulb, they are very helpful to me in spending sun limit and last stand levels in adventure mode. Their Plant Food is a bonus in killing groups of zombies easily. Guacodile is also a fun to use plant. I actually find this plant amazing especially when I played Neon Mixtape Tour and Frostbite Caves levels since their rushing attack can cause bigger damage to zombies ahead of them. Chard Guard is my absolute favorite defensive plant. Their knockback attacks can also stall zombies over time and have higher health than normal plants when they have no more leaves to push back. They are best when stalling weaker health zombies like chickens, weasels, and even weaker imps.

[@daner293]

Idk but primal peashooter is kinda underrated too. It costs a bit more than the peashooter, but he deals more damage, stuns and knocks back any zombie. I used 2 primal peashooters and they stalled and even killed a gargantour. Absurd.

[@trickster6054]

It costs nearly double

Another underrated: goo peashoter, she is usually underestimated due to the fact that she does poorly on strength tests because she is not strong for gargantuars, but great against brickhead zombies.

Thing is about bulb, pretty much every other crowd controller can do the same thing more consistently. I mean, if I’m gonna have to spam instants to use something, I wonder if that thing is doing any work. Stuff like Dusk Lobber has better performance than bulb even on its best day. You have to work for something that in the end is barely above average as a crowd controller, if at all. Its synergy with walls is wacky, and the fact that clumps are a weakness is annoying. Even the plant food struggles to do what you want it to. Maybe it’s not complete garbage, but there’s no reason to ever use it even if you aren’t going tryhard. Also the bastard looks like a diglet but still gets pulled by fisherman, what gives?

[@mailcs06]

An orange bulb can literally one shot a basic and two hit a conehead, I’d say that’s pretty far above average

[@ThisIsntAYoutuber]

Bowling Bulb is currently a meta plant in Arena and many Penny’s Pursuit boss fights that don’t involve Jesters. Tile Turnip + Bulb means that its biggest weakness is null and void. Also, level 7 BB respawns the orange bulb first.

[@JustnamedAce]

Chard Gourd is a default in my setup whenever there are hard zombies nor flying zombies which most wallnut types suck at protecting or stall.

[@Rematch1234]

I use Chard Gard and Banana launcher a LOT!

[@krissyvanwychen3261]

I think rotobaga is underrated because if you get multiple of them down they can easily handle strong zombies as they destroy they are also cheap only 150 sun and you spam then and zombies are doomed

My favorite under rated PVZ2 plant is puff Shroom. Yeah, the PVZ2 version kills itself after a while but I think it's a lot more fun than the more over rated insta kill plants and it's a nice way to hold the line and focus on sun production.

I have to disagree with Bowling Having to rely on certain plants is pretty bad imo. And there are just better plants to utilise for that job, like Coconut Cannon, Banana Launcher or heck, even Citron. Usually what will happen is that Bowling Bulb will get overwhelmed too much, and you won't be able to use the high EPS well, whereas you can easily make the most from other plants.

[@lebollsong]

So in conclusion: Bowling Bulb for a supposed support plant is not goof if it relies on OTHER support plants, whereas others like Banana or Coco can do well on their own and be utilised more effectively.

[@honkhonk9089]

In arena is where bowling bulb truly shines. In conjunction with chard guard and some other plants, it can clear the board

[@lebollsong]

@@honkhonk9089 arena is completely different though. Yes, Bowling Bulb is good there but how it works is different from regular pvz2 levels. Here I'm talking about its uses in those regular levels, and it's not that good to say the least

I would also consider spikerock as one of the underrated plants but honestly I don't know how well rated the plant is, many zombies ignore it and does pretty good damage if the zombies are above it and next to a defensive plant
