Chinese English 梦想成为芭蕾舞演员的旋涡枇杷有一项绝活：她可以在原地旋转很多圈。“我觉得我一定能成为这个世界上最伟大的芭蕾舞演员，但是没有人愿意聘请我，我不理解为什么会这样。”旋涡枇杷沮丧地说，顺便吞下了一大口冰激凌。 Cycloque, who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, has one trick: She can rotate many rounds in place. "I think I will be able to become the world's greatest ballet dancer, but no one wants to hire me, I do not understand why." Cycloque says in frustration, as she swallows a large mouthful of ice-cream.

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

A loquat hanging on a tree.

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

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

Level upgrade

Level	Upgrades	Description
	Fierce Wind	Wind produced by Cycloque can pull down level 1 zombies directly.
	Combat Training	Cycloque gains 50% more attack power and health (150% of initial).
	Storm	Makes Fierce Wind effective toward level 2 zombies.
	Cell Activation	Cycloque gains another 50% more attack power and health (200% of initial).

Note: Cycloque cannot be upgraded to level 4.

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 doesn't deal damage to zombies, which lowers her effectiveness.

One effective strategy is to use Cycloque on a group of zombies, then use the Squash to squash all zombies on that tile. This works with Lava Guava as well, as he can burn all zombies there.

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