Costumes
Cabbage-pult received his doctorate in pulting from Harvest University. He knows a thing or two about launching his way to the top. He also makes a mean soup.

Cabbage-pult is the first offensive lobbed-shot plant available in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is unlocked after beating Day 4 of the Player's House.

Cabbage-pult lobs cabbages at half the fire rate of a normal Peashooter, but deals twice as much damage for each cabbage meaning that Cabbage-pult deals identical damage per second to Peashooter in practice. His projectiles can bypass tombstones in Ancient Egypt and Dark Ages, as well as certain types of shields employed by the zombies and submerged Snorkel Zombies in Big Wave Beach.

Strategies

Cabbage-pult is generally more useful as a starting plant compared to Peashooter and area-of-effect plants, as it is capable of bypassing obstacles, such as tombstones in Ancient Egypt and the Dark Ages. Cabbage-pults can also be a good starter in the Pirate Seas, as they can defeat Barrel Roller Zombie without destroying the barrel first. They are also great with fighting Excavator Zombies and underwater Snorkel Zombies. However, it is advised to use Peashooters or area-of-effect plants rather than Cabbage-pults in the Wild West and Frostbite Caves, since the slower rate of fire will hamper Cabbage-pult when combating Zombie Chickenss and Ice Weasels. But you should also not use Cabbage-pult to the Parasol Zombie because Cabbage-pult can do no damage to it. It is also recommended that you use area-of-effect plants rather than Cabbage-pult or Peashooter in Dark Ages because Jester Zombies will constantly reflect them dealing a lot of damage to your plants.

Cabbage-pult's Plant Food ability will be the first tool available that could affect all targets on the screen, regardless of zombie density. While it is relatively weak, as Conehead Zombies and other moderate-health zombies can absorb multiple hits from the Plant Food ability, it is reasonably useful for neutralizing large amounts of weaker enemies and clearing the way for more powerful offensive plants and can also be used as a life saver if there are many weak zombies about to reach the lawn mowers or house.

Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Chinese version) (China only)

It is advised to upgrade him to level 5 before using because a level 5 Cabbage-pult can deal splash damage, removing one of its weaknesses.

Trivia

• "Harvest University" is a pun on Harvard University, one of the most prestigious universities in the United States.
• Unlike in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies 2 gives the player the Cabbage-pult very early in the game while the first game introduces it near the end.
• Before the 5.7.1 update, his normal projectile sprite for levels 1-4 was different from his Plant Food projectile sprite.
• After the 7.1.1 update, he is now a tutorial plant unlocked after completing Player's House - Day 4.
  • He was formerly unlocked after completing Ancient Egypt - Day 2.
  • However, his seed packet and Almanac entry showed the Ancient Egypt lawn background, until it was eventually fixed in 7.5.1 update, but he's still placed behind the Bloomerang in the Almanac.
• He is the only Player's House plant that doesn't have "Primal" counterpart.
