Phat Beet attacks in a 3x3 area around him, so how many can you place? 1 column, or 5. Snapdragon attacks in a 3x2 area in front of it, and you can place 10 down for maximum damage. Sure, it suffers against Explorer Zombies, but so would Phat Beet, it would need to rely on the other Phat Beets around it to kill it. Now I will admit, Snapdragon has a big flaw with it's fire aspect, but usually doesn't matter in most cases. There are other plants than Winter Melon to use.

Now Plant Food effects..... Phat Beet does terrible damage, even in it's closest area. However, Snapdragon completely destroys most zombies (including Pharaoh in sarcophagus).

Now usage. Snapdragon is meant to be used in either a 2 column setup or with the aid of Garlic/Sweet Potato. However those two plants stink. Using this, Phat Beet is best used with said plants, which I restate, stink. Thus the only optimal use of Phat Beet is one column. Phat Beet does have its invulnerability to Boombox Zombie, however he doesn't cause any problems other than in HttDR, where both of these plants actually suck.

'''Finally, I have yet to mention Cold Snapdragon. This plant gets rid of Snapdragon's fire aspect and now makes it arguably the best offensive plant in the game to use. '''

Thus, Snapdragon has tons of more uses against Phat Beet, as well as having better damage, usage, and Plant Food ability. Yeah...the frozen counterpart is good.
