With
Pair of Pears works the same way as Shroom for Two does, except Pair of Pears dishes out 4 damage a turn if both pears are alive, or 2 if one pear is destroyed, costs four times as much, and cannot be affected by Buff-Shroom or Punish-Shroom unlike Shroom for Two. It is a decent plant, but you can get better plants for the same cost, such as. It is mainly useful for being able to block 2 attacks if not destroyed by attacks or Strikethrough. Bouncing it with Rescue Radish also helps, as it can be replayed for another Pear Pa. However, this combo can only be done normally by Nightcap.

Using this along with Berry Angry or Steel Magnolia (the latter being exclusive to Spudow) helps as it affects both Pair of Pears and Pear Pal.

Against
Pair of Pears is an annoying plant to take care of, but it does have many counters. Knight of the Living Dead can completely wall it with his Armored 2 trait, if neither pears have a strength boost. Playing tricks like The Chickening or Weed Spray can also destroy many of these at once, unless they are boosted.

Zombies with Strikethrough are also capable of destroying both Pair of Pears and Pear Pal at once, such as Hot Dog Imp or Line Dancing Zombie, although both are going to be destroyed after combat.

on the turn he is played or zombies protected by Zombie Coach are also able to block both attacks from Pair of Pears while being able to destroy one in the process.
