I've already said something, but I'm just gonna go off again and just talk about 10 Plants in PVZ2 that suck the hardest. (Plant food will be taken into account for this, so Puff-shroom and Hypno-shroom won't make it.)

10. Is Citron. Despite a powerful plant food effect, this plant is the worst plant in the game imo without it. Too expensive, often doesn't hit what you want to, and is a sitting duck most of the time. To people who say that Far Future doesn't have any bad plants, I put to this thing.

9. Is Bowling Bulb. While he has a decent plant food effect, still doesn't save him from being absolute trash offensively. He basically only does 2 damage every 6 seconds, which even Nightshade out DPS's (and Nightshade doesn't even make this list!). The only thing that saves him from being lower is his Plant Food. Big Wave Beach should be known for rather mediocre plants, but this one takes the cake.

8. Is Sun Bean. You're essentially wasting a seed slot for using this guy. If you're not making enough sun in a level, how about you start planting two columns of usn producers, huh? Congratulations, Sun Bean is out of the job! His plant food is ok, but not great. Dark Ages is definitely up and down with it's plants, but this is the absolute low point.

7. Is a three way tie between Cabbage-pult, Peashooter, and Split Pea. Though it's not really fair to include Peashooter and Cabbage-pult since they're the basic offensive plants and should be replaced, I'm gonna include them anyway because in a vacuum, they're the some of the wekest and wimpiest. I don't even understand why they had to include Split Pea and Prospector Zombie in this game, but what's done is done.

6. Is Spikeweed. The only thing you'd ever really use this for is against Barrel Rollers and Pianists, and even then you can get overwhelmed if too many of them come out. Spikeweed doesn't do much as a normal plant in this game, with swarms of tough zombies gunning straight for your brains, ands his lackluster damage. His one redeeming factor is that he can't be eaten, so that's a plus. While Pirate Seas has some great plants, this is definitely not one of them.

5. Is Dandelion. My least favorite plant in PVZ2, and he only makes #5 on this list. As a plant, he's simply awful. His sun cost is expensive, his recharge is meh, but the main problem is that god awful attack speed. Oh my goodness that attack speed absolutely ruins the plant. His DPS is too low to be relevant. While the synergy with Blover and Hurrikale is very cool, it leaves him a sitting duck for 15 seconds, and I don't want that. And don't get me started on that plant food, which is worse than Homing Thistle's by quite a large margin. There's worse yet though.

4. Is Electric Blueberry. Originally, I considered it to be among the better plants in the game, then in the very next update, this plant got blown to dust. Horrible attack speed, recharge, and targeting issues all make this plant a mediocre choice for your lawn. There's a couple of things that save this plant from the bottom though. She's amazing in last stands, her plant food is decent, and when her targeting works, it works wonders. Still not the worst premium though.

3. Is Bonk Choy. And to think, I used to love Bonk Choy. Bonk Choy is just awful. Not only his overpriced, he can't even kill a Conehead Zombie on his own. A FREAKING CONEHEAD ZOMBIE. Are you kidding me? The only good thing about this plant is it's plant food, which is admittedly pretty good. Not as good as Citron's, which is why it takes #3, but still pretty good. Ancient Egypt has some awful plants, and this is the worst.

2. Is Chomper. Not #1! Chomper, even though it got a buff, is still terrible in this game. The meta of this game has completely changed from Plants vs. Zombies 1, and Chomper just can't keep up. Too many zombies come out for this thing to feel relevent, his plant food is awful, and he costs $5 to unlock. To his credit though, atleast he can actually kills zombies, unlike...

1. Is Lightning Reed. Lightning Reed is literally useless. Want to kill Chickens? Use these plants Instead. Want to damage zombies? Use literally any other damaging plant. This plant literally tickles zombies until they die. 0.25 Damage is horrible. And don't get me started on his craptastic plant food. This plant doesn't have a reason to exist anymore, and I'd rather use Phat Beet than it.

There, those are my opinions. Now yell at me.
