Electric Blueberry
Electric Blueberry is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 thematically tied to Side B of Neon Mixtape Tour. It was first showcased in Piñata Parties advertising the aforementioned world update.

Approximately every 12 seconds, it will create a storm cloud that will target a random zombie on the lawn and electrocute it by producing lightning with a loud thunder. If there are no zombies to target, the cloud will disappear. After that, Electric Blueberry will start charging again to release another cloud.

Almanac entry
Sun cost: 150

DAMAGE: Massive

RECHARGE: Very Slow

Electric Blueberry randomly electrocutes zombies every so often.

Electric Blueberry prides herself for being eclectic as well as electric. "I like to keep'em guessing," she says. "A zombie should always be like, 'Whoa, didn't see that coming,' when they're desintegrated.

Plant Food upgrade
When fed Plant Food, Electric Blueberry will quickly produce a storm cloud with no visual differences compared to its regular attack. However, this cloud will target three zombies instead of one. If there are no zombies on the lawn, the cloud will fade away in an identical manner to regular ones.

Trivia

 * It is the third plant to have a "Very Slow" recharge, the other two being Power Lily and Thyme Warp.
 * However, it is not truly "Very Slow." The aforementioned plants have a 60-second recharge, while Electric Blueberry's lasts 45 seconds. This is not an uncommon occurence in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
 * Zombies that die by electrocution use the same disintegration effect from Lightning Reed and the Power Zap ability.
 * In the 3.9.1 update (the current version), Electric Blueberry's animation is glitched. It will rapidly change its charging animation during its normal functioning, and will completely freeze after using Plant Food on it (though it will still produce clouds after 12 seconds).
 * When electrocuting a flying Bug Zombie, only the bug will die. This is possibly an oversight.
 * Alternatively, it can be explained as the game treating the bug as a separate zombie, as it displays similar effects with other plants. However, this does not occur to zombies like Pharaoh Zombie which exert similar mechanics.
 * Electric Blueberry cannot kill Imp Cannons. This is possibly an oversight as well.
 * A similar oddity happens with A.K.E.E.'s seeds when bouncing, which do not hit Imp Cannons as well. This can be explained by the fact that neither the akee seed nor the storm cloud can hit zombies that have not fully entered the lawn, and Imp Cannon is considered by the game to be such a zombie.
 * A glitch will occur if Electric Blueberry's cloud targets a zombie protected by Glitter Zombie's rainbow. As the rainbow grants invulnerability, the cloud will continue to produce lightning until Glitter Zombie is killed.
 * Its cloud can sometimes target a zombie that has lost its head, but whose health points are not fully drained. Nevertheless, a headless zombie poses no threat.
 * It is the fifth plant that uses or generates electricity, the others being Lightning Reed, E.M.Peach, Bowling Bulb, and Magnet-shroom.
 * Unusually, it was added in the Chinese version before even being revealed in the international version. The process is usually reversed where PopCap Shanghai produces world updates after the international version.
 * A similar situation happened with Dandelion, but it was not hidden in the international version before being released. Instead, it got released later on.
 * It does not target lawn obstacles.

Developmental features
New seed packets were added in the 3.3.2 update. These new Seed Packets were going to be based on the world was obtained in. For instance, Chard Guard would have a Frostbite Caves seed packet, Peashooter would have a Player's House seed packet (original seed packet), etc. Other features include summoning Zombies from Lawn Mowers that would attack other zombies, and renting and trying premium plants. In 3.8.1, two new features were added, the favorite button which would mark a plant with and x and put said plants seed packet behind the Players House plants, and the recall plants button which automatically chooses the plants chosen in the previous level.
