Strategies
This is a strong plant, able to do five damage to a zombie and is able to survive weak zombie attacks. Using tricks like Fertilize is a good idea, as they can boost this plant's strength and health points and make it able to do more damage and last longer on the battlefield. Being a Mushroom Teammate, using Buff-Shroom will increase its strength and health points, dealing even more damage.

Counters
Because of its high number of strength points, it is able to be destroyed by the Rocket Science trick. The Locust Swarm trick can also instantly destroy this plant.

If the player does not have access to such cards, the player can try to bounce the card with the Backyard Bounce trick or use tricks that lower this plant's strength and health points like Nibble or Acid Rain. The player can also use powerful zombies like the Zombot 1000 to destroy this plant.
