Hurrikale

Hurrikale is a single-use premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It was released on January 5, 2015 and is not limited-time. It chills and pushes all zombies in its lane to the rightmost column as much as possible, and then disappears, similar to the Blover. A Hurrikale can push all zombies in its lane (regardless of its position) back to five tiles or less, depending on the speed and state of the zombie. It will also blow away any zombie on its lane that is flying. It can also use its winds to cause two Dandelions in its lane to release multiple bombs at once; then, they must recharge.

Hurrikale is the fourth gem premium plant available for purchase which costs 99 gems. As with any other gem premium plants, if the player purchases it, they can only keep it on their corresponding profile, meaning that if they have more than one profile, Hurrikale must be purchased separately on each of the different profiles.

You could say Hurrikale is a "blow hard" in the truest sense of the phrase. He is the first chair trombonist in the Biennial Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also proficient in the trumpet, saxophone and the tuba. But man o' man, you should really see him on the flugelhorn. Dude absolutely kills it.

General
Hurrikales are best used plants by pushing an entire lane of zombies with its frosty air. This plant is best used against airborne zombies (Seagull Zombies, Jetpack Zombies, Disco Jetpack Zombies, gliding Dodo Rider Zombies, Bug Zombies, and Zombie Parrots), as it acts similar to the Blover. Combining Hurrikales with Sweet Potatoes and Sap-flings is a good idea, as you can slow down and attract an entire lane of zombies using this plant. Hurrikale is also useful in Endless Zones to push zombies back if they get too close to your house.

This plant is best used against entire lanes of machined zombies in Terror from Tomorrow, as you can easily slow down an entire lane of machined zombies with Sweet Potatoes. This is to prevent machined zombies from swarming your defenses. Another strategy to do is to use it against an entire lane of Zombie Chickens and Ice Weasels when combined with Sweet Potatoes to slow them down, so you will protect your very powerful plants from being eaten. In Pirate Seas plant a Sweet Potato in a water lane to attract the zombies to it than plant a hurrikale to blow them into the water. Using this plant on the Lost Pilot Zombies in the Lost City will bring it down from the air faster, instead of blowing it off the lawn.

Avoid using this plant in levels where you cannot lose plants; not only this will waste your sun, but the Hurrikale that vanishes will count as losing a plant. It should also be noted that Hurrikale cannot push back zombies inside Sandstorms and Snowstorms, as it will only slow down the aproach of the ambush and chill the zombie inside.

Hurrikale can also be used in conjunction with Dandelions to cause two in a lane to release several bombs at once. However, be aware that this leaves the Dandelions open to threats, as they must recharge their bombs.

Trivia
