Card description
"Some say that Zombies aren't easily shocked. I beg to disagree."

With
Zapricot has similar stats to a Fire Peashooter, except Zapricot has 1 more strength, costs 1 more sun, and is in the class. However, unlike Fire Peashooter, it is not a plant, meaning it cannot be used with Torchwood nor The Podfather. In fact, there are no cards that specifically benefit plants. If you are playing as Captain Combustible, Fire Peashooter is a better choice if you're planning to put the previously said boosting plants in you deck.

Since this does a lot of damage, you can boost its stats for it to become stronger, make it do bonus attacks, or both.

Against
Zapricot hits very hard and will destroy or badly damage any zombie that can come on turn 3. Fortunately though, it does not have much health. You can sacrifice a weak zombie or use a cheap trick to destroy it easily.

 * It is the only plant in the series to be based on the apricot.
