Trick-or-Treater

Trick or Treater is an event zombie card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the class. He costs 3 to play, and has 2/3. He does not have any traits, and his ability Conjures either a Sugary Treat or a Healthy Treat when the first zombie trick is played every turn, starting from the turn he is played.

Trick or Treater was introduced in the 2016 Halloween event alongside. As of Feastivus 2016 (in update 1.10.14), both of them were also made craftable.

Origins
He is based on the Basic Zombie's Lawn of Doom costume from Plants vs. Zombies 2. However, in this game, he holds a candy bucket.

His name and appearance are based on a trick-or-treater, a person who goes trick-or-treating from house to house asking for treats with the phrase "Trick or Treat?"

With
Apply the same strategies as you would for Mad Chemist, as his ability and stats are similar to Mad Chemist. However, he does not have the Gravestone trait, so the plant hero can be ready to place a plant in front of him. But for the most part, it can be an alternative to Mad Chemist since it costs 1 brain less, but in exchange for possibly greater tricks Mad Chemist could reward.

Other than that, Trick or Treater can easily give you treats to boost other zombies' stats. It may be a good idea to use some treats on Trick or Treater himself so that he will survive longer. Additionally, you can save them and use them for later for when a zombie is about to be destroyed or needs more strength. However, there are better cards like Camel Crossing or that are more effective in boosting zombies. Some good zombies to pair up with this zombie are Paparazzi Zombie, who gets boosted immensely, and Trickster, who lowers his cost because the treats are tricks.

Against
He can cause a nuisance later in the game if not defeated quick enough. To deal with this zombie, do the same as you would with Mad Chemist. Bouncing this is a viable option, though it is better to destroy him with tricks such as Berry Blast. This zombie is only limited to giving you two types of cards, so you can take advantage of it.
