Sling Pea

Sling Pea is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, that was introduced in the 7.0.1 update. It fires 5 peas, targeting the zombies closest to your house each time, similar to a Homing Thistle.

Like Shadow Peashooter, Sling Pea requires 250 seed packets to unlock for free. The player can do so by playing world levels or going to the store to buy Piñata's that obtain Sling Pea seed packets. There is also a Sling Pea bundle in the store that'll give the player 250 seed packets to unlock automatically.

Origins
Like most other peashooting plants, it is based on the Pisum sativum, commonly known as the pea.

Plant Food Effect
When fed Plant Food, Sling Pea will fire 5 massive peas at the closet Zombie to the house three times, launching 15 peas in total.

Strategies
Sling Pea is basically like a Peashooter mixed with a Homing Thistle as he will only attack the zombie that is closet to the house. Like most Lobbed Shot Plants, you can use Sling Pea to avoid projectiles being hit by Tombstone's as well as avoiding hitting Excavator Zombie's Shovel. Arma-mint and Sling Pea work well together as Arma-mint will boost Sling Pea's damage and health. But beware using Sling Pea in levels that have Jester Zombie and Parasol Zombie as Jester zombie will fling back Sling Pea's projectile's, while Parasol Zombie will make the lobbed peas bounce off her Parasol. Thus, these zombies being Sling Pea's great weaknesses.

Trivia

 * He is similar to Pea Pod as they are peashooting plants that are still in their pods and shoot 5 peas at once (or in Pea Pod's case, up to 5 peas).
 * Despite it does not say that Sling Pea is one of his plant family members in his almanac entry, Arma-mint can still boost him.
 * He is the second plant that can be obtained by collecting 250 seed packets in Plants vs. Zombies 2. The first is Shadow Peashooter.
