Bzzzzz...

The official name of this plant is Cycloque. However, a literal translation can be found in its infobox. The official name is to be used on all pages that refer to this plant.

Cycloque (旋涡枇杷; pinyin: xuánwō pípá) is the first plant obtained in Sky City in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. She draws in zombies from a 3x3 area around her tile, behaving similarly to a Sweet Potato. Upon being pulled in, the zombies can smack into each other, taking damage and stunning them. After a while, the zombies will return to their original tiles.

Origins

Cycloque is based on the loquat, a fruit from the Rosaceac family, which is native to China.

Her name is a pun on "cyclone" and "loquat".

Strategies

She can be used as weaker, aerial Cherry Bomb without her costume. She is a cheap way to dispose of threats such as Double-Cabin Aircraft Zombie. Outside Sky City, she is quite useless due to not dealing damage to zombies from other worlds

Cycloques are also able to block the bullet attack of the Zombot Eagle-tron, which can wipe the lawn clean if not blocked effectively.
