Lightning Reed.

Low-damage crowd controller with only 100 health. It would have about 15 ammo, semi-automatic fire and shoot about twice as fast as a Peashooter. It would have quite low damage but like "Power" plants, it's an electric elemental which means the electricity hits groups.

Abilities: 1a: Storm Cloud, creates a storm cloud that pursues nearby zombies, striking them with lightning for the next ten seconds or so.

1b: Giant Cloud, creates a storm cloud that's massive but stationary, and lightly damages every zombie underneath it.

2a: Switchgrass (one of CC00's PvZCC plants), lays down a Switchgrass. You can hold two at once. When an AI zombie walks onto it, the Switchgrass disappears and for ten seconds the zombie moves in the opposite direction to where it wants to go. If a player walks onto it, their walking and aiming controls are reversed for ten seconds.

2b: Hypno-shroom, you can only have one at a time and it isn't exactly easy to hide, but it completely hypnotizes a zombie, making it attack other zombies. If it's a player, the player will be able to respawn after being hypnotized, but the hypnotized version of them will remain, and is controlled by an AI.

3a: Electromagnetic Shield, generates a shield around itself and nearby plants, blocking attacks for up to 100 damage.

3b: Invulnerability Shield, invincible but limited time.

Variants:

Flaming Reed: Fire Elemental, retains the Electric Element too though.

Icing Reed: Ice Elemental, retains Electric Element.

Laser Reed: Charge-up attack, like Mystic Flower and Future Cactus. No Electric Element.

Sparking Reed: Shotgun-style weapon, increased health and reduced speed. Keeps the Electric Element, meaning that it can easily take out a group at close-range.

Telekinetic Reed: Shots knock back zombies, but deal even less damage. Retains Electric Element, but only knocks back the zombie it hits directly.

Beaming Reed: Lots more ammo and a rapid-fire beam attack, but long reload. Still has the Electric Element.
