This implies every single defensive plants won't work either for the same reasons, except for the reason of "eats extremely quick" and being a machine. Well, honestly, I rarely use defensive plants anymore because of the same reason, and slowing plants are much more reliable. Except for Infi-nut. It has a lot of other purposes.
 * Explorer Zombie (lit)
 * Swashbuckler? (might swing past)
 * Barrel Roller (crushes)
 * Imp Cannon (don't interact, doesn't count, might shoot past)
 * Zombie Parrot (don't interact, but steals)
 * Prospector? (loses purpose)
 * Pianist (crushes)
 * Chicken Wrangler/Chickens? (Eat extremely quickly)
 * Bull? (Hurls past)
 * Jetpack (flies over)
 * Robo-cone (machine)
 * Mecha-football (pushes)
 * Disco-tron (machine)
 * Disco Jetpack (flies over)
 * Jester (while spinning, doesn't eat plants while spinning)
 * Wizard (transforms)
 * King (crushes, don't interact, knight's high health make plants useless due to short range and small damage)
 * Surfer (surfs past/crushes)
 * Octo (binds)
 * Fisherman (hooks/don't interact)
 * Hunter (most likely freezes first)
 * Troglobite (with ice block(s), crushes)
 * Weasels/Hoarder (eat extremely quickly)
 * Lost Pilot (while dangling, most likely)
 * Excavator (shovels)
 * Relic Hunter? (might swing past)
 * Turquoise Skull (burns)
 * Punk (punk jam, moshes)
 * Glitter (pop, crushes)
 * MC (rap, destroys with microphone)
 * Arcade (with machine, crushes)
 * All Gargs

It won't work for Imp Cannons, but it's still useful for the Imps. If only it's not *that* weak... The same reason goes to Chicken Wrangler Zombies, Zombie Chickens, Weasel Hoarders, and Snow Weasels.

I hope they do work on robots though. Stunion can stun them, so Garlic should too! Too bad Chili Bean doesn't... You proved my point. I was trying to say that even though Garlic has returned, it's not EZ quality. Infi-nut (and in some cases Chard Guard) are the only defensive plants that actually do well.

It works on the Imps that are fired. The explosion? Not so much. Even though Phat Beet works extremely well against Chickens and Weasels, the Garlic can't resist them.

And someone already tested that Garlic can't. I don't think Stunion can, either.
