With
Hover-Goat 3000 is an amazing zombie to boost zombies. Compared to Loudmouth, it does not have the Gravestone trait, but it has 2 more and the Amphibious trait. This can replace Loudmouth as you can buff another zombie right away before plant threats like Berry Blast to destroy a buffed zombie. However, the buff can only be given to another zombie and not himself. This means that this zombie is useless if there are no other zombies on board, so do not play him alone unless you absolutely need a shield to block a plant.

Additionally, it has another ability that is quite handy as he can Bounce himself if it takes 2 or less damage in 1 hit. This can allow you to play this over and over again, allowing you to buff other zombies greatly. This is even more useful because he has the Amphibious trait. If the plant hero played a weak Amphibious plant like Sting Bean, you can play Hover-Goat 3000 there so he can most likely be Bounced. This can turn in your favor to buff another zombie twice or more.

All Beastly heroes can use this zombie as he is part of the pet tribe, namely to boost their pet decks with Zookeeper or Cat Lady. And because this Bounces itself when it takes low damage, you can play this again and boost your pets again.

Immorticia can use this to a greater extent on this zombie as it is also in a science tribe. This can make it powerful to use Zombot Drone Engineer to increase his strength or Gadget Scientist for him to deal bonus attacks. It can also activate Interdimensional Zombie's when played. But keep in mind that if it does get hurt and it Bounces itself, it will lose the strength buff from Zombot Drone Engineer's ability.

If you cannot get any plants to Bounce it, you can use Secret Agent or Firefighter to Bounce it instead, although the latter combo can only be used normally by. Electric Boogaloo can use Barrel or Deadbeards or Fireworks Zombie to make Hover-Goat 3000 get hurt and in cases, it gets Bounced and can be reused. If you are also against a Guardian or Kabloom Hero, you can play this zombie in Spikeweed Sector or Hot Lava to take a huge advantage of its abilities.

Against
This zombie can be quite threatening as it can buff another zombie as similar to Loudmouth. But it also has the ability of Kangaroo Rider as if it takes damage and not destroyed in one hit, it bounces himself and the Zombie Hero can play this again. You can use the same strategies to deal with Kangaroo Rider, but keep in mind that this zombie also has the Amphibious trait. In other words, avoid playing any plants with 2 or less to hurt this zombie as it will get bounced. This is also worse if you play Sour Grapes, Galactic-Cactus, Spikeweed Sector,, or Hot Lava as this zombie will be bounced and activate his abilities again. But because it has 3, any plant that can do 3 or more damage can finish it off. Berry Blast or Whack-a-Zombie can also destroy it at ease. Kernel Corn can also destroy this zombie as well as dealing damage to all other zombies, including those that are buffed. But while you take care of this zombie, be sure to also take care of the other zombie that got +2/+2.

You can also destroy as many zombies as possible on the board to make Hover-Goat 3000 useless.

Trivia

 * Its second ability is the same as Kangaroo Rider's.
 * It is the second goat in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, with the first being Goat.
