His name is a combination of the words "pear," the Plants vs. Zombies plant he is based on, and "pal," referring to the fact that he is usually with Pair of Pears.
Any strategies that apply to Puff-Shroom also apply to Pear Pal. Just take note that he cannot benefit from Punish-Shroom or Buff-Shroom due to his lack of the mushroom tribe. However, since he has the Amphibious trait, he can be boosted with Navy Bean. And due to his Team-Up trait, you can also easily use this to protect a powerful plant or in a Team-Up deck with Go-Nuts.
Against[]
Pear Pal is an easy plant to deal with. Zombies with at least 2 strength or tricks such as Bungee Plumber and Rolling Stone can deal with him effectively unless he has been boosted.
The term "Codependency" in his description means one has an excessive amount of reliance for someone else, emotionally or psychologically. This is possibly referring to how he can made by Pair of Pears.
He, Sunflower, Navy Bean, and Pea-Nut are the only plants with the Team-Up trait present in the Multiplayer menu.
Unlike other cards with multiple traits, when listing his traits in his statistics, there isn't a space between the comma and the other trait.
