Pogo Party/Strategies

Strategy 1
Plants Needed:

1. Sunflower 2. Tall-nut 3. Coffee Bean 4. Fume-shroom 5. Gloom-shroom 6. Imitater Tall-nut (If you're lucky (about half the time) you don't need this)

Strategy:

I uploaded a video to YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb9bkc1bkG4&feature=youtu.be

1) Plant 5 sunflowers in column 1. This is all you actually need.

Optional: once you have your 5 sunflowers, allow your sun to build up to at least 175, then add more sunflowers to column 3. This is not necessary at all as sun is usually not a problem and you will have to remove the two in rows 2 and 4 later on, but if it makes you feel better...

2) Hence forth, never plant anything unless your sun is over 125.

3) As soon as a pogo zombie appears, drop a tall-nut in his row in column two. It's important that you do this immediately (which is why you never let your sun go below 125) so that the tall-nut has a chance to recharge before the next zombie appears. This isn't quite so critical if you are going to wimp out and use the imitator, but try not to, just for the satisfaction of saying you did it with only 5 seed slots.

4) Let the zombie eat the tall-nut. He'll be a while. you're in no rush to kill him.

5) Once you're sun is well over 125, drop a fume-shroom / coffee bean / gloom-shroom in either row 2 or 4, column 3. Whichever is closest to the first zombie (you don't want him to eat too much or you'll have to replace the tall-nut later)

Note two things: a) you have to build the gloom-shroom in stages. don't rush it. You MUST always keep 125 sun for a tall-nut in case the next zombie shows up in an empty lane and b) if the first two zombies show up in rows 2 and 4, don't be tempted to put the gloom-shroom in row 3 and kill them both. Put it in row 2 or 4, whichever is closest to the first zombie.

6) Continue blocking zombies as necessary. Use the imitator if you absolutely must, but remember to make that decision early since the imitator takes time to transform and a pogo zombie can jump over it before the imitator is finished transforming. If you don't need to block the next zombie because it's in a row that already has a tall-nut, take the opportunity to continue building the gloom-shroom.

Remember: you only need two gloom-shrooms; one in row 2 and one in row 4. Don't go building extra ones until all tall-nuts are in place and the rows 2 and 4 gloom-shrooms are in place

Some points to remember: You should be finished after about 3.5 minutes. After that you can sit back and watch the carnage.

5 sunflowers, 5 tall-nuts and 2 gloom-shrooms are all that are necessary, although I find I usually have to replace a tall nut toward the end.

It's counter-intuitive, but place your defensive plants (the tall-nuts) BEHIND your offensive plants. It will work if you put the tall-nuts in front too, but then all the zombies (pogo and regular) will get a chance to eat your tall-nuts and you'll have to replace a number of them as you go along (not just one or two). Putting the tall-nuts behind the gloom-shrooms does two things: First, it kills the regular zombies before they can eat anything at all, and second, it forces the pogo zombies to take 8 hits before they hit the tall-nut, dismount, and start eating. Hence they only take a couple of bites before dying.

When it's necessary to replace a tall-nut, don't panic. Remember that after eating the tall-nut the zombie has to eat the flower pot, but the gloom-shroom will kill him first, so you have time.

Once you've got the basic 12 plants set up, you can embellish it a bit by adding gloom-shrooms to rows 1, 3 and 5. If you do that, you won't need to worry about the tall-nuts as no zombies live long enough to take a bite.

I'm new to this wiki thing, but I'll try and attach a screen shot and a video.

Strategy 2
By Joshua, 11

PLANTS NEEDED:

1.  SUNFLOWER

2.  SNOW PEA

3.  KERNEL-PULT

4.  SQUASH

5.  JALAPENO

6.  MELON-PULT

7.  TWIN SUNFLOWER

8.  FLOWER POT

9.  ANY PLANT (except for Tall-nut and Magnet-shroom)

{C}For starters on this level, it is extremely hard to beat, so this walkthrough will be like a holy grail for you. First, R-U-S-H to plant as many sunflowers as possible in the first two columns. Use a Squash to kill the first Pogo Zombie. For the second one, plant a Kernel-pult in that lane to take care of it, or use a Jalapeno if necessary. For the next zombie, plant a Flower Pot on the part of the roof where the angle dissipates, allowing peas to pass. A Snow Pea will go there to deal with the Pogo Zombie in that lane. Start planting Snow Peas where the angle ends until you have one in each lane. Now plant Twin Sunflowers on your Sunflowers to receive more sun, and be sure to add 2 Kernel-pults in each lane for extra firepower. It is also optional to replace some of the Kernel-pults with Melon-pults for fun and a higher damage per second. Once the final wave is destroyed, tap the trophy to complete the level. My strategy will also earn you the “Sproing! Sproing!” achievement because of a lack of Magnet-shrooms and Tall-nuts!

NOTE: You can use the Cabbage-pult instead of the Kernel-pult because it's butter does not freeze the Pogo Zombie.

 * Snow Pea if you want the Sproing! Sproing! achievement

An alternate arrangement is:


 * Sunflower

Strategy
Use:

Sunflower, Tall-nut (to stop Pogo Zombies), Repeater (immediately behind Tall-nuts), Chomper/Wall-nut/Cherry Bomb (for normal zombies; appear only during waves), Squash (for alternating Pogo Zombies)

Strategy #4
thumb|right|300px|Video of the Pogo Party Strategy with Chompers and Melon-pults.This strategy can be used with 9 or less slots.
 * Sunflower


 * Flower Pot


 * Tall-nut


 * Chomper


 * Melon-pult


 * Winter Melon (optional)


 * Squash


 * 1 to 3 more plants of your choice (preferably Instant Kills)

Do NOT use the Potato Mine. Also Magnet-shrooms are completely redundant with the Tall-nuts. See video for full walkthrough of the strategy.

Strategy #5
By: McZaky29

Alright, these are the seeds you're gonna pick. Only 9 slots are necessary.


 * Flower Pot
 * Sunflower
 * Squash
 * Coffee Bean
 * Magnet-shroom
 * Cabbage-pult
 * Tall-nut
 * Imitater Tall-nut
 * Melon-pult

If you have ten slots, pick a Jalapeno as well.

NOTE: THIS STRATEGY HAS BEEN PROVEN TO WORK!

'''NOTE #2: MAKE SURE YOU'VE PURCHASED A RAKE! VERY IMPORTANT!)'''

Okay. So start by planting 2 rows of Sunflowers in the 2nd and 3rd columns from the left (NOTE #3: YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PLANT TWO ROWS OF SUNFLOWERS BY THE TIME THE POGO ZOMBIES START COMING). When the first Pogo Zombie after the one that kills itself with the rake comes, plant a Tall-nut in the 6th column of his lane. Once you have enough sun, plant a Cabbage-pult in the fourth column. Keep doing this with the other zombies. Eventually, you're probably gonna want to plant some Melon-pults - DO SO IN THE 1ST COLUMN!!! It is very important that the Melon-pults are at the back so they are protected, as they are one of your most important plants in this level. If you're not planting Tall-nuts or Melon-pults, plant some Magnet-shrooms in the fifth column. Make sure you have one of each plant (except for Sunflowers) in its respective column. Once you've done so, you're in the clear! This makes this Mini-game very easy.

Strategy 6
Start planting a single column of Sunflowers in the back. Once these are all up, start planting Cabbage-pults in the second column. Plant a Tall-nut in the sixth column in the row the first Pogo Zombie comes in, and start planting Kernel-pults in the third and fourth columns. Whenever they recharge, plant Tall-nuts and Imitater Tall-nuts in the sixth column, and Squash any Pogo Zombies that come where you do not have a Tall-nut yet. Once all of the Tall-nuts are up, plant Melon-pults in the fifth column and upgrade Sunflowers into Twin Sunflowers until the level is over.

Strategy 7
Build the two rear rows as Sunflowers, and be prepared to let the first few zombies trip the Roof Cleaners. Always place a Tall-nut on such a row first, three rows past the initial line of starting pots (sixth column from the left). Place the Chompers in the next row back and the the Kernel-pults behind them, which will easily let you deal with attackers while you save up for melons. This is the best option for Chompers, as they can attack the row directly in front of them and help protect the Tall-nuts while the butter and melons wreak havoc from the rear. Twin Sunflowers will make it easier to build up the Winter Melons as often as you can afford to plant them.

Strategy 8
Build the two rear rows as Sunflowers, and when zombies shows up, start using Squash and Imitater Squash whenever a Pogo Zombie attacks on the lane without any offensive plants; squashes are recharging enough fast to keep using them repeatedly. Finish planting Sunflowers and keep collecting enough sun to build a Melon-pult on the second or fourth lane, covering it with a Tall-nut on the fifth column. Whenever possible, keep upgrading Melon-pults into Winter Melons and Sunflowers into Twin Sunflowers, always using Squash when necessary. Once you manage to make a column of Tall-nuts and Winter Melons, the rest is a piece of cake - just keep planting the Melon-pults on the fourth column until the end of the level.

Strategy 9
On the first rear row plant Sun flowers when the first Pogo Zombie appears put a Cabbage-pult in the other rear and a Tall-nut in the next Flower Pot. Use Squash to beat the second Pogo-Zombie or if you choose the Imitater Tall-nut do not! Later in the level replace the Cabbage-pults with Melon-pults and Winter Melons.

Strategy 10 (The "Flower Pot-less strategy")
This strategy is guaranteed to win and doesn't require the use of extra Flower Pots. Start by planting a single column of Sunflowers in the back. When the first Pogo Zombie comes, Squash it. By the time the second Pogo Zombie appears, you will likely have about 200 sun. If you do, plant a Tall-nut in the third column of the zombie's row; save up sun until you can plant a Melon-pult behind the Tall-nut. If you don't yet have 200 sun, let the Roof Cleaner take care of the second zombie. When the third Pogo Zombie comes, place an Imitater Tall-nut in its row (unless your regular Tall-nut is recharged) and Squash it. Every time a Pogo Zombie comes down an undefended lane, place a Cabbage-pult where it is, and (if its lane doesn't have one) a Tall-nut. Once you have your Cabbage-pult/Melon-pult defenses and your barrier of Tall-nuts complete, begin replacing Cabbage-pults with Melon-pults, and your top and bottom Sunflowers with Magnet-shrooms (don't forget to wake up your Magnet-shrooms!) And remember to replace Tall-nuts as necessary. Keep doing this and you'll win the level in no time!

Strategy 11 (Grounded Strategy)
Note: This strategy will not earn you the achievement 'Grounded'. Choose these plants:
 * Sunflower
 * Flower Pot
 * Twin Sunflower
 * Squash
 * Tall-nut
 * Imitater Tall-nut
 * Split Pea
 * Starfruit

Plant Sunflower on column 3 and 4. Use Squash for first Pogo Zombie. If the second Pogo Zombie appear, plant Tall-nut on back of that row and Split Pea on front Tall-nut. Do this until all row have Tall-nut, if Tall-nut recharging and there is a Pogo Zombie on row without Tall-nut, squash it. If all row have Tall-nut, plant 3 column Starfruit in front of Sunflower.If you have it, bring the Imitater Tall-nut so you do not need any instant kills.

Strategy 12 (4 Stage Strategy)
Disclaimer: This strategy is an edited version of a YouTube video strategy. The original strategy does not belong to the person who wrote this version.

When placed correctly, this strategy should win every time. Roof Cleaners, Wall-nut First Aid and the Garden Rake make it easier, but are not required. This strategy is called the "4 Stage Strategy" because it's built in 4 stages. There are only 8 plants used:
 * Sunflower
 * Twin Sunflower
 * Flower Pot
 * Cabbage-pult
 * Kernel-pult
 * Melon-pult
 * Tall-nut
 * Imitater Tall-nut

Stage 1: Start planting a column of Sunflowers in column 1. You should have enough time to plant all 5 and have plenty of time to collect Sun before the first zombie appears. Save up at least 150 Sun, then when the zombies appear, plant a Flower Pot/Tall-nut in Column 4 in the same row. Save another 100 Sun, then plant a Cabbage-pult right behind it (in column 3). Repeat for the remaining rows. If a zombie appears in an already protected row, plant a Kernel-pult in the empty Flower Pot behind the Cabbage-pult.

Stage 2: This step is rather simple. Fill column 2 with Kernel-pults. Note that butter will not immobilize a Pogo Zombie until he loses his pogo stick. If the player is quick enough, these two stages should be completed before the first flag.

Stage 3: You should start planting Twin Sunflowers during both Stage 3 and Stage 4. Do not plant them all during Stage 3, or you will waste valuable time. Start planting a second column of Flower Pots/Tall-nuts in column 5. There are 3 reasons why this is done. First, if you plant them in column 5 during Stage 1, they may get eaten about half way into the level, leaving you vulnerable. (You do not want to learn this the hard way.) Second, this will prevent you from requiring Wall-nut First aid, which would waste both Sun and recharge time. Third, this will make room for the plants required for Stage 4. Again, wait until a zombie appears to decide where to plant them.

Stage 4: If you already have 2-3 Twin Sunflowers at this point, Stage 4 should be relatively easy. While continuing to plant Twin Sunflowers, start replacing the Tall-nuts in column 4 with Melon-pults. Melon-pults have a fast recharge time, and since they cost 300 Sun, having Twin Sunflowers will help you plant them faster. You should have at least one to two Melon-pults planted before the second flag. If there's more than one Pogo Zombie is a single row during Stage 3, start planting your Melon-pults early. (Note: It may be a good idea to first plant your Melon-pults behind Tall-nuts that have reached the first stage of damage instead of lanes with a lone Pogo Zombie. This will help reduce the need to waste Sun on Wall-nut First Aid. It should also be noted that lanes with more than one Pogo Zombie take higher priority than lanes with damaged Tall-nuts.)

The time of which zombies appear varies between game systems. You may not always have time to plant all 5 Twin Sunflowers before the end of the level. As long as you have Melon-pults in every row, you should be guaranteed to win. If you have Wall-nut First Aid, you can prevent the zombies from completely eating a Tall-nut, but requiring it is only occasional.

Note: When planting Imitater Tall-nuts, they must be planted quickly, or the Pogo Zombies may jump over them before they can be transform. This is extremely important during Stage 1, as you will not have enough defenses to stop them. If this happens, you may end up losing the level (or a Roof Cleaner).

Note: If the entire set-up is complete before the final wave, Bungee Zombies will not drop Ambush Zombies past your Tall-nuts.

Strategy 13
Pick these plants:
 * Pumpkin
 * Squash
 * Imitater Squash/Imitater Tall-nut
 * Tall-nut
 * Sunflower
 * Flower Pot
 * Repeater
 * Melon-pult
 * Gatling Pea (optional)
 * Twin Sunflower (optional)
 * Wall-nut (optional)

Start with as many Sunflowers as possible, and stop when you got 15 of them. When a Pogo or a Zombie comes, use the Squash. Repeat that until you got 15 Sunflowers and enough to buy a Repeater. Build Repeaters in column 5 so the peas could hit zombies. Remember to put Tall-nuts in front of them. If you've got 300 suns or above but your Repeater is still recharging, simply plant a Melon-pult in column 4. When you've got a column of Melon-pult and a column of Repeater already, simply double the Melon-pult in each row. Relax, but pay attention to your Tall-nuts.

Strategy 14
Pick these plants:
 * Flower Pot
 * Sunflower
 * Squash
 * Imitater Tall-nut (If you have at least 8 slots, then get it. Don't bother with less)
 * Cabbage-pult
 * Kernel-pult
 * Melon-pult
 * Winter Melon (optional)
 * Tall-nut
 * Cherry Bomb or Starfruit (optional)

Start off with gathering sun by planting Sunflowers in the back 2 lanes. When the first couple zombies come, squash and Roof Clean them. When about a minute of zombies pass, use the Cabbage-pult in the lane after the Sunflowers. Also, Kernel-pults in the lane before that, and Imitater Tall-nuts just after the Pogos. Next, put in Tall-nuts in the lane after the Melon-pults. By this point, you shouldn't need Squash. Also by this point, the first huge wave should be coming in. Put a Flower Pot 2 squares before the Tall-nuts (there's a small chance it will be eaten, because zombies are weak, and Pogo's don't eat) and you can either put a Cherry Bomb or Starfruit in that. The Starfruit will be SUPER useful, because it all 5 sides will be able to shoot (It will be worth all 125 sun) and the Cherry Bomb will come in handy also. Keep the Flower Pot there, because it most likely won't be eaten, and you can save sun. Also, replace the Cabbage-pults with Melon-pults. When you start getting Winter Melons, plant them in the 3rd lane (that's the lane with the most zombies, and it will hit zombies in the other lanes) and then put in next one in either the 2nd or 4th lane (Depending on if more zombies are in the 1st and 5th lanes) Then, you may not have time, but put the final 2 in the remanding lanes. If you picked Cherry Bombs, use them during the other huge waves (they will be recharged by then). The Bungee Attack in the end isn't much of a threat in the end if you use this set-up.

Strategy 15


You will need
 * Sunflower
 * Twin Sunflower
 * Squash
 * Imitater Squash
 * Cherry Bomb
 * Jalapeno
 * Coffee Bean
 * Ice-shroom
 * Doom-shroom
 * Flower Pot

thumb|right|250px

Putting the Squash at the back allows you to have more time to prepare whenever a new wave of Pogo Zombies arrive. Doom-shrooms really work really well when placed at the center so I prefer to reserve that area for them.

The empty spaces based on the picture allows every lane to be protected by Cherry Bombs and Jalapenos if in case you need to recharge those squash at the left side. Ice-shrooms should be used when there are huge waves or when most of your instants are recharging. This strategy will earn you the achievement Sproing! Sproing!.

Strategy 16
Choose:


 * Sunflower
 * Flower Pot
 * Cabbage-pult
 * Kernel-pult
 * Tall-nut
 * Imitater Tall-nut
 * Magnet-shroom
 * Coffee Bean

Step 1: Plant 2 columns of Sunflowers in the in the very back.

Step 2: After a zombie takes out a Roof Cleaner, plant a pot and then a Tall-nut in that pot in the sixth column from the left in the row without a Roof Cleaner, do in all rows.

Step 3: Now, after all Tall-nuts have been planted or a zombie is getting too close, plant a Cabbage-pult in the third column from the left in the order of the rows the zombies come in.

Step 4: Plant Kernel-pults in the fourth column from the left.

Final step: Plant a Magnet-shroom in the center of the fifth column from the left then plant them in the rest of the column. Planting it in the center is important because it can reach all of the rows from the center.

Strategy 17
Plants needed (8-10 slots)
 * Sunflower
 * Flower Pot
 * Squash
 * Tall-nut
 * Split Pea
 * Torchwood
 * Pumpkin
 * Imitater Pumpkin
 * Squash
 * Umbrella Leaf (optional)
 * Twin Sunflower (optional)

Beginning:

Start by planting two columns of Sunflowers in columns 1 and 2 to the left. When the first Pogo Zombie appears, squash it. When the second Pogo arrives, put a Tall-nut in column 3 and a Split Pea and Flower Pot in column 5 in its lane. Squash the third Pogo Zombie. Put a Tall-nut in column 3 and Split Pea and Flower Pot in column 5 in the fourth Pogo Zombie's lane. Continue this pattern until each lane has a Tall-nut and Split Pea in columns 3 and 5 respectively. Before the first wave begins, this is how your setup should look like:

Legend:

S = Sunflower

TN = Tall-nut

SP = Split Pea

- = empty square

Between flags 1 and 3:

Continue by planting Flower Pots and Torchwood on column 4 and Flower Pots and Split Peas on column 6. Then Pumpkin your Split Peas to stop the Ambush Zombies from eating them. Your final setup:

New Legend;

T = Torchwood

= Pumpkin

Strategy 18
Plants needed (7-10 slots):


 * Sunflower


 * Flower Pot


 * Snow Pea


 * Split Pea


 * Tall-nut


 * Imitater Tall-nut


 * Pumpkin

Legend

S = Sunflower

SP = Snow Pea

TN = Tall-nut or Imitater Tall-nut

(SP) = Pumpkin with Split Pea

First, plant some Sunflower. When the Pogo Zombie Appears, let it pass. Then plant the Tall-nut or Imitater Tall-nut in that place. Continue planting Sunflower and Tall-nut/ Imitater Tall-nut until you fill the required space with Tall-nuts or a Pogo Zombie appears on a row that's already been crossed. Plant a Snow Pea in the back or Split Pea in front (don't put Pumpkin yet, too expensive) and finish planting Sunflower, Tall-nut/ Imitater Tall-nut, Snow Pea and Split Pea. When the first wave is about to come, prepare to put some Pumpkins as well. If all done right, you will win.

Strategy 19
Note: This strategy requires the Imitater.

Plants needed: First, plant three Sunflowers. For the first zombie, put a Tall-nut in 3rd lane and Cabbage-pult in the 2nd. Now plant one Sunflower. Repeat. When you have a zombie but Tall-nut is still recharging, use the Imitater Tall-nut. After the first three lanes are full, move to the next one without Flower Pots. Use columns of plants in this order: Kernel-pult, Starfruit, Snow Pea. After that, Melon-pults are recommended.
 * Cabbage-pult
 * Tall-nut
 * Imitater Tall-nut
 * Sunflower
 * Kernel-pult
 * Flower Pot
 * Starfruit (optional)
 * Snow Pea (optional)
 * Squash (optional)

Strategy 20
No Sunflower Strategy

thumb|right|400px|Strategy from 3C妹妹 thumb||
 * Garlic
 * Coffee Bean
 * Fume-shroom
 * Gloom-shroom
 * Magnet-shroom

Another strategy without losing any Roof Cleaner: Plants needed:
 * Flower Pot


 * Potato Mine


 * Imitater Potato Mine


 * Coffee Bean


 * Magnet-shroom


 * Fume-shroom


 * Gloom-shroom


 * Garlic


 * Puff-shroom


 * Squash

Strategy 21
Use this plant:

First, plant Sunflowers in column 1, when a Pogo Zombie come, use Tall-nuts to block him. Plant 2 Cabbage-pults where the Pogo Zombie eats Tall-nut. Continue building strategy (repeat step 2 and 3) until you get this strategy: Legend:
 * Flower Pot
 * Sunflower
 * Cabbage-pult
 * Melon-pult
 * Tall-nut
 * Squash (optional)
 * Cherry Bomb (optional)
 * Jalapeno (optional)
 * Imitater Tall-nut (optional)
 * Winter Melon (optional)

S = Sunflower | C = Cabbage-pult | T = Tall-nut | X = Blank

If you have enough sun, replace the Cabbage-pult in column 2 with Melon-pult

So, it will be like this: M = Melon-pult

NOTE: This strategy has been tested by MeLoNpunCHer40 and it's 93% works! But if you use this strategy incorrectly you may lose.

OTHER NOTE: You may plant the Melon-pults at row 3 instead of row 2.

OTHER NOTE: You may also buy Garden Rake.

Strategy 22 (Modified Strategy 21)
It's almost same as strategy 19.

Use this plant: First, plant Sunflowers in row 1, keep planting. When a Pogo Zombie comes, use Squash to kill him. The second Pogo Zombie will come, so plant a Tall-nut in row 4 to block him, then plant a Cabbage-pult in row 2 and 3 where the zombie comes, also plant a Split Pea in front of Tall-nut They will kill him. Repeat step 3 until you get this build: Legend: S = Sunflower | C = Cabbage-pult | T = Tall-nut | SP = Split Pea | X = Blank
 * Sunflower
 * Flower Pot
 * Cabbage-pult
 * Split Pea
 * Tall-nut
 * Pumpkin
 * Squash
 * Imitater Tall-nut (optional)
 * Melon-pult (optional)
 * Jalapeno (optional)

Now, plant Split Peas in row 7 and 8. Protect them with Pumpkin.

Now your build will be like this: (SP) Pumpkin-protected Split Pea
