Pea-nut

Pea-nut is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. Pea-nuts can both shoot peas to enemies and block zombies with its hard shell.

Overview
The Pea-nut absorbs 40 bites and its appearance changes upon at 8, 16, 24, 32 before dying at 40 bites. The Pea-nut fires slower when it reaches its third degrade.

Plant Food Upgrade
It is similar to both the Peashooter and the Wall-nut, as it can both shoot 60 peas like Peashooter, restore its health and give itself a hard helmet which gives it 80 extra HP like Wall-nut.

Almanac Entry
Sun Cost: 150

DAMAGE: Normal

TOUGHNESS: High

RECHARGE: Mediocre

Pea-nuts can shoot peas and block zombies.

Pea-nut knows that some folks have an aversion to him. He tries to be sensitive to their concerns and give them the space they need. Still, he can't help but miss the good old days - back when he was the most popular nut around.

Strategies
Pea-nut can both attack and defend. For its mediocre recharge, it's a really great plant when you need to add a hard defense to the lawn. But pay attention, because the Pea-nuts will shoot slower when they reach their third degrade. So it is also important to protect them when they're weak.
