Chard Guard

Chard Guard is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. It will be unlocked in Frostbite Caves - Day 11. It can hurl zombies three tiles back, three times. Afterwards, it becomes a defensive plant which can withstand 30 bites from the zombies. (Approximately 3/8 the health of a Wall-nut.)

Chard Guards are defensive blockers that can hurl zombies backwards.

Special: hurls zombies back (x3)

You might remember Chard Guard from his days in the WWF (that's World Wrestling Foliage). When he was in the ring - boy-oh-boy - he was something to behold! His moves! His style! His attitude! The crowd loved him. He was quite the star for a while there. Sure, those days are behind him. But if you watch carefully, when Chard Guard is fighting zombies, you'll see him use the wrestling move he made famous. The ol' Knock 'Em Dead maneuver - it gets 'em every time.

Plant Food upgrade
When Chard Guard is given Plant Food, it regains all its leaves back and hurls every zombie in its upper space, lower space, and 3x2 area in front of it.

Strategies
The player should use Chard Guards only when swamped with zombies. It is suggested to keep a Pepper-pult or Torchwood nearby as Hunter Zombies will likely be part of the zombie hoard.
