I mean, it does 5 NDS, has a slow fire rate, and has some defensive capabilities. Wait, defensive? Nightshade's as glassy as any other plant. Nightshade can protect your other plants...

Similarly to how I use Rotobaga in Big Wave Beach Then you can say Sun-shroom is a defensive plant. It has a equal recharge time and a lower cost. Close-ranged is what you mean, I presume. Yes, you can classify Sun-shroom as a defensive plant. Often times, it doesn't matter if it's a Wall-nut as many zombies instantly kill plants, regardless of its health. Gargs + All-Star = 2 out of 50+ zombies. So, <5%. You could argue Octo or Wizard, but all they do is stall them a slight bit if they were about to attack anyways. Explorers can't be hindered. Imp Punts just suicide if it's not a real defensive plant. Newspaper Zombie can tear through it like a normal mad person can paper. I could go on. There's also Rappers and Glitters during their jam and Barrell Rollers.

Technically, MC Zom-Bs don't insta-kill, but I'll give that they do have delayed attacks, and I'll add the special Gargs and Turquoize Skull Zombie, so 7 out of 101(unique). Glitter and Barrel Rollers are the same case as Explorer Zombies. However, it still doesnt't justify his loose usage of "defensive."

Also, about your IAP argument earlier, that's what they are usually like. However, that's not always the case. I can't find any real push towards buying the Prems in most games I play; either I get in the top naturally(when I quit CoC, I had a Barb King building, 4 Builder Huts, mostly Crystal walls, and a pretty even win-loss ratio in defenses & attacks alike) or I feel cheated out and I leave. There's a delicate balance that is hard to do. Raw power is an obvious exploit. A more subtle thing, such as an item that is technically fair in regards of in-game usage that does what no other can do, is a more ideal thing. That's what I'm getting at.

//Damn, I'm getting rusty! I just struggled to do BWB 6 w/out PF & Lawnmowers to get a Yeti down. Gone in one go, but almost entirely b/c GP.
