Card description
Sometimes they squabble, but they usually get along like five peas in a pod.

Strategies
This is a powerful early plant if the player can allow them to survive. Because plants go second, placing this in an empty lane will be the most logical thing to do if the player receives this first. Using a defensive plant on this is a great choice. Allowing Pea Pod to survive will yield the best results. Using Torchwood in tandem along with tricks like the Fertilize with this will make this plant deal tons of damage, enough to end the game pretty early if the player plays correctly. Potted Powerhouse can be a great partner for Pea Pod, they get bonus stats each turn while they are on your hand. What's also notable is that even after it has self-boosted 5 times, it will still keep on growing.

The player should consider bringing this plant if the player can strategically use it.

Counters
Tricks are the player's best bet to destroying this, especially if this gets high health. Defeating this early should be a priority. Using Tricks such as Bungee Plumber or The Chickening should help. However, the plants have an advantage since they plant second. Bouncing this also works, as their stats will instantly be gone.

Trivia

 * Their head growth is similar to the level 2 ability of the Pea Pod from the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2.
 * Their description is a reference to the "peas in a pod" idiom.
 * Even though they have only one head when played and in their statistics, they have five heads on their card and in the Rank 9 profile picture.
 * This also happens with its counterpart from Plants vs. Zombies 2.
