Card description
''Ever dream of piloting a giant shark robot? Join Dr. Zomboss now!''

With
The player should have an army of zombies that deal damage so the Zombot Sharktronic Sub can clear out almost every lane. It is most optimal to place this in the pool lane, so that minimal plants can attack it, as this does not gain easily. Keep in mind though the plants can bounce this zombie making its stat boosts go to waste. However, when used with something that damages all plants such as The Chickening, the Zombot will destroy almost every plant on the lawn and boost itself, essentially acting like Zombot 1000. Although, only Impfinity,, and Professor Brainstorm have the ability to pull off this combo (though Super Brainz requires a Mad Chemist to get The Chickening and Professor Brainstorm requires Eureka or Portal Technician for the Sharktronic Sub). Using Bungee Plumber is useful as you can instant destroy any plant for just 1 brain and Conga Zombie can also destroy any plant except armored plants or cannot be hurt plants. With Neptuna, this can be health buffed easily with Medic to heal or Camel Crossing to boost. Also, is able to synergize with Pet zombies, as the Zombot Sharktronic Sub is part of the pet tribe while Super Brainz can use it as part of the Science tribe. Speaking of the Science tribe, a Gadget Scientist and a lawn full of Science zombies is very devastating, boosting the Sharktronic Sub and destroying nearly the whole lawn, leading to easy victory.

Zombot Sharktronic Sub can also be used with Barrel of Deadbeards, Fireworks Zombie, or Zombot 1000, as they can damage every plant on the field in one go when destroyed or played respectively. However, only Impfinity, Professor Brainstorm, or Brain Freeze can use these combinations. Though for Professor Brainstorm, Eureka or Portal Technician is required for the Zombot Sharktronic Sub.

The zombot sharktronic sub can also act ask a toxic waste imp that is stronger and affects all zombies and make every trick deadly. But most likely you must wait till the 10th turn to play the chickening (any mentioned tricks above may vary the number of turns and outcomes) or take the risk on getting it loosing some health as it cannot destroy any more plants and boost it's health anymore. Being a science zombie, it can benifit a +1 damage after the turn by a science drone engineer.

Against
This zombie can be very powerful, as it can kill any plant on the lawn and heavily damage the hero. In addition, it essentially makes every zombie have the Deadly trait, but even damaging tricks like Bungee Plumber can also be deadly. The player should use instant-kill cards such as to prevent complete devastation from this card. Additionally, if the Zombot Sharktronic Sub is placed on the ground lane (which is commonly not the case), Lawnmower will also defeat this. Doom-Shroom can help, but at the risk of some plants. can deal a lot of damage to the this due to its ability. Whipvine can bring Zombot Sharktronic Sub to itself as both have enough stats to cancel each other out. If this gets out of hand, bouncing this should be done, but bouncing this at any point of the match is a decent strategy nonetheless. 's can also help prevent the plants from taking any damage to reduce the effectiveness of the Zombot Sharktronic Sub but it does nothing for instant-kill tricks like Rocket Science.
