Card description
''Sure, he and Squash are pals. But there's always an undercurrent of competition between them.''

With
Compared to other 6-sun cost plants, Smashing Pumpkin has no traits nor abilities, but makes up with sheer strength. The player may mass up more sun to play and spam Smashing Pumpkins more quickly.

Unfortunately, Smashing Pumpkin does not benefit from any synergy cards due to its tribe, which means that Smashing Pumpkin is on its own when facing zombies. Smashing Pumpkin also faces severe competition against Three-Headed Chomper, Super-Phat Beets, and Tough Beets, which almost always outperforms it.

Against
Smashing Pumpkin hits very hard and is quite bulky, destroying or heavily damaging you or your zombies. It is best to destroy it with a trick like Rocket Science, Cut Down to Size, Locust Swarm, B-flat, or Deadly zombies. You can also make zombies with 5 or more strength do a bonus attack.
