Pomegranate Machine Gun (机枪石榴; pinyin: jīqiāng shíliú) is a monthly special plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It spits multiple seeds at zombies in a 3x1 space in front of it.

Origins
Pomegranate Machine Gun is based of the punica granatum, also known as the pomegranate. The second part is a reference to its Plant Food ability, which is similar to a machine gun, but his normal attack is more like a scattergun.

石榴在去图书馆偷看校花的时候无意中看了一本叫《论石榴的1000种吃法》的书，书的扉页上写着一句影响了他一生的话：无论如何吃，石榴籽都是要被吐掉的. 后来他参了军，成了一名枪法奇烂的机枪手，又后来他退了伍，成了一名每天磕着瓜子晒晒太阳的房东. 再后来？你没看到对面那个张开大嘴向你们乱喷口水的家伙吗？

Pomegranate peeked at the school beauty when he accidentally read a book called "1000 Ways to Eat Pomegranates", the book's title page had a written sentence saying "anyway you eat it, pomegranate seeds are to be spit out" affected his life. Later, he joined the army and became a marksmanship the odd rotten machine gunner, and he later retreated Kivu, became a landlord who knock the seeds a day to bask in the Sun. What's next? Didn't you see the guy who opened his big mouth to spit at you guys?

Strategies
This plant is better used in groups because of the heavy damage output in multiple lanes. From level 1, you should keep this heavily defended with Wall nuts, Tall-nuts, or Infi-nut, to guarantee it's damage will be output. Due to low range, it is recommendable to not make it go alone by itself on early levels, use a winter melon, laser bean, or even snapdragon coupled with a level 1 of these for a nice damage, just don't forget defensive plants for it.

Level 2 and above, you can use it a bit more risky, not defending it early, making more than one row of these, all for guarantee a strong damaging plant, to deal all it needs at enemies, still, recommendable to defend it (Later on, you'll prefer to use the infi-nut, as it's Plant Food will randomly activate and so defend a whole row on level 4) and support it with damaging plants such as Winter Melon, but now, since it actually has damaging properties (Range, more shots though lower damage) It can heavily be assisted by Sunflower Singer.

Plant Food effect
When fed Plant Food, Pomegranate Machine Gun pulls out a machine gun's barrel on top of its head and starts firing powerful seeds every second, dealing massive damage to whatever is in front of it in a 3x5 area.

Costumed
It causes splash damage along with direct damage.
