Pomegunate (机枪石榴; pinyin: jīqiāng shíliú) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He attacks zombies by spitting pomegranate seeds at them.

Origins

Pomegunate is based on the punica granatum, also known as the pomegranate. The second part is a reference to its Plant Food ability, which is similar to a machine gun, but his normal attack is more like a scattergun.

About

He is a uncommon monthly special plant. He spits multiple seeds at zombies in a 3x1 space in front of him. If you want to receive Puzzle Pieces for him, you can obtain some from your daily login reward.

Strategies

This plant is better used in groups because of the heavy damage output in multiple lanes. At level 1, you should keep this heavily defended with defensive plants such as Wall-nuts, Tall-nuts, and Infi-nut, to ensure that the Pomegunate does not get easily overwhelmed by the zombie horde due to his low range. Support him with Winter Melon, Laser Bean or Snapdragon since he cannot stand alone.

From Level 2, treat this plant like how you would use Snapdragon. He can become very powerful at level 4 since his Plant Food effect is activated upon planting. Combining this with Sunflower Singer at this level can make him even more dangerous since he has received upgrades to his damage output.

Just be careful in Dark Ages and Kongfu World when you are entering levels with Jester Zombie and Hammer Zombie respectively since they can deflect the plant's projectiles back at him.
