If Pumpkin as we know him showed up in PvZ2, Nightshade would be a very powerful plant. Even when powered, at close range it does its 10 melee damage, but the zombie needs to be pretty much in its tile, and its HP is very low. Pumpkin could help negate that and make Nightshade (arguably) the best plant at any range.

Nightshade's main pitfall is that the melee range is so freaking close.
