I feel like Doom-Shroom would need something that makes it stand out in PvZ2. Pumpkin can get away with returning untouched since its only direct competition is Blastberry Vine, but even then Blastberry is barely comparable to Pumpkin due to how little extra protection it offers (although deals damage to compensate).

With Doom-Shroom, we have a fair few great explosive plants already that would instantly overshadow Doom-Shroom if he does come back untouched (which is to say; high damage explosion but leaving a crater behind).
