Enforce-mint shrinks zombies, which may seem a bit off-brand for a guy who's all about melee damage. Enforce-mint shrugs. "I don't set policy," he says.

Enforce-mint is a Power Mint plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. When planted, he will shrink and immobilize 10 random zombies on the lawn, making them weaker (at Level 1), similar to Shrinking Violet. He also gives all Enforce-mint Family plants a temporary boost, increasing their stats for the entirety of his duration.

Enforce-mint family plants include:

• Bonk Choy
• Celery Stalker
• Chomper
• Guacodile
• Headbutter Lettuce
• Kiwibeast
• Parsnip
• Phat Beet
• Snap Pea
• Squash
• Tangle Kelp
• Wasabi Whip

Like other Power Mints, he cannot be imitated or affected by other mints. After 8 seconds, Enforce-mint disappears.

Enforce-mint can be obtained with 100 mints in the store when he's available.

Origins

Enforce-mint is based on the "Lamiaceae." (also known as "mint")

His name is a pun on the word "enforcement," meaning "the act of compelling observance of or compliance with a law, rule, or obligation." Enforcement is usually associated with violence, thus Enforce-Mint's muscular appearance and boosting several melee-based plants.

Strategies

Enforce-mint is best used against large groups of dangerous zombies such as Chicken Wrangler Zombies, Weasel Hoarders and especially Gargantuars. When used, all zombies on screen are shrunk to miniature size just like Shrinking Violet's Plant Food ability, including Imps, Zombie Chickens, and Ice Weasels, making Enforce-mint a great plant to use during large waves of zombies.

Enforce-mint works well with certain melee plants such as Wasabi Whip, Celery Stalker, and Parsnip, as they will deal more damage to dangerous zombies, with the capability to clear out hordes of zombies, especially when you level them up.

Enforce-mint's biggest weakness is that plants in his family lack any range, meaning that creating strategies that use Enforce-mint can be difficult.

Like all Power Mints, it is a bad idea to bring Enforce-mint to levels where you cannot lose plants, as he will disappear after a while.
