When you get down to it, Bonk Choys, Lightning Reeds, Kernel-pults (maybe), and Gloom-shrooms all have trouble taking down Coneheads ON THEIR OWN, meaning that they work best in groups or in combination with OTHER plants.

But to be honest, I believe that THERE ARE NO USELESS PLANTS, even if they are deprecated later on. I have problem respecting others' opinions, though. Bonk Choys...have trouble taking down Coneheads but even with lots of support they just aren't worth using.

Lightning Reeds obviously have trouble taking out Coneheads, but when spammed, they can take down grouped Bucketheads.

Kernel-pults are luck-based, although they're OP in PvZ2 because they stun for longer, and in large amounts in either game they can often stun infinitely.

Glooms can't take out Coneheads on their own row, but can take out infinite Coneheads in adjacent rows. A single supporting plant (Pumpkin or Garlic) is good enough to let it take out Coneheads.

"NO USELESS PLANTS"?

Chomper: Like a slower Squash, how's it useful?

Bonk Choy: I mean...three times a Peashooter's attack speed? Great! Range of only 1.5 spaces? RUBBISH! Lack of crowd control? RUBBISH! It's even more useless in versions 1.7 and up since there are more zombies, and it sucks at AoE.

Law Pea: Okay, kind of stretching it a bit here by going for a Garden Warfare Plant, but...this thing is probably the most underpowered character in the entire game. It's like the EPIC Agent Pea, but with worse accuracy, less ammo, less damage, no ammo upgrade, and a longer reload...regular Peashooter is better.
