Pomegunate (机枪石榴; pinyin: jīqiāng shíliú) is a plant in both the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 and in Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West. 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.

History

Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West (Archived content)

In Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West, he was a store-bought plant which could be purchased with 120 gems and couldn't be imitated. He spat seeds at zombies in his lane these seeds dealt 20 damage per shot, but dealt more damage the closer zombies were to him. He could also randomly do a special attack, firing a barrage of seeds at the zombies in his lane.

Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Chinese version)

In the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2, 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.

石榴在在图书馆偷看校花的时候无意中看了一本叫《论石榴的1000种吃法》的书，书的扉页上写着一句影响了他一生的话：无论如何吃，石榴籽都是要被吐掉的。后来他参了军，成了一名枪法奇烂的机枪手，又后来他退了伍，成了一名每天嗑着瓜子晒晒太阳的房东。再后来？你没有看到对面那个张开大嘴向你们乱喷口水的家伙吗？

When Pomegunate went to the library to peek at the school beauty he accidentally read a book entitled "1000 Ways to Eat Pomegranates", on the title page was a quote that changed his life, "No matter how you eat it, pomegranate seeds always spit out." Then he joined the army, and became a machine gunner with oddly bad marksmanship. And then he discharged, and became a landlord who ate seeds and sunbathed every day. And then? Don't you see that guy over there who opened his mouth to spit at you?

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.
