Just like Backyard Bounce, Pogo Bouncer can be used to remove dangerous or expensive plants for cheap, or clear the way for other zombies so that they can hit your opponent. And while he is slightly more expensive than Backyard Bounce, Pogo Bouncer leaves a zombie after the plant is Bounced, can benefit from In-Crypted, Mixed-Up Gravedigger, Headstone Carver, and Flag Zombie, and is better against anti-trick decks. However, Pogo Bouncer is vulnerable to anti-gravestone cards like Grave Buster, and in Super Brainz' or Huge-Gigantacus' trick deck, Backyard Bounce is the superior choice.
As Neptuna, you could use Team Mascot and Zombie Coach to protect and boost Pogo Bouncer since he is a sports zombie, but even then, you should not expect him to do much due to his low base stats. Pogo Bouncer, however, is a good zombie for Chum Champion's Evolution thanks to his Gravestone trait and plant-clearing ability.
It is not recommended to use this if Jelly Bean is on the field, unless you are Bouncing Jelly Bean itself.
Against
Aside from anti-gravestone cards, there are not many counters to Pogo Bouncer. When he Bounces a plant, you'll have to wait for the next turn to play it again, and it may cost you some tempo if the plant is expensive. Try to swarm the field with equally strong plants to minimize the impact of the ability. Some cards like Magic Beanstalk benefit from being Bounced due to them having a "When played" ability, so you still get some benefit even if they are Bounced.
