With
As a fighter itself, Pea Patch is outclassed by, who has more strength than it. And thus, its pea synergy with and The Podfather, while still usable, is also outclassed by Fire Peashooter. But Pea Patch's main usage is its Fusion ability, which you can use once Pea Patch is close to going down, and gives a plant a moderate boost.

However, Pea Patch does have a few rivals. Grow-Shroom gives a plant the same boost, but does not have to survive through zombie tricks and damaging abilities to do so. Fertilize gives a bigger boost than Pea Patch in general. Fortunately, Pea Patch allows 3-sun plants to get a boost, while the other two cannot. But Pea Patch's biggest rival is Pumpkin Shell, who only costs 1 sun more, but can survive better and support plants with low health, which Pea Patch is inferior at. If you are playing as Grass Knuckles, Pumpkin Shell is generally a better choice, with the exception of some decks.

Fortunately, Pea Patch does have its place in terms of Evolution. While there are better plants to use for Savage Spinach and 's Evolution, Pea Patch can give them a boost, and also allows Gatling Pea's bonus attack to hit harder. However, Pea Patch can't survive very well unless The Podfather is on the field, so you should either protect it or do this combo later in the game.

Against
Pea Patch has average but low stats, so you should be able to destroy it easily. However, since your opponent will play it on an empty lane in most cases, it is recommended to save some brains for a Rolling Stone or Bungee Plumber. You also have to beware of Torchwood and The Podfather, as they can make Pea Patch more dangerous to deal with.

If your opponent is running a pea or leafy deck, they will also be carrying Gatling Pea or Savage Spinach. If that is the case, they will hit much harder, so it is important to destroy any Pea Patches on the field first.
