However, take note that you are forced to '''Bounce''' another plant when you play Rescue Radish, so you should not play him if the only plants on the field are either boosted ones or those that are facing dangerous zombies.
As Rescue Radish is a root, you can also be use him in tandem with [[Starch-Lord]] to give him a small boost. However, only [[Citron (PvZH)|Citron]] and [[Beta-Carrotina]] can do this normally. For a more universal combination, there is [[Jelly Bean]], who will get boosted if Rescue Radish activates his ability.
