This zombie is very dangerous alone since it alone has above average stats and the Strikethrough trait. In addition, it can make two other pirate zombies, five of which are legendary (Barrel of Deadbeards, Shieldcrusher Viking, Interstellar Bounty Hunter, Intergalactic Warlord, and Zombot Aerostatic Gondola). However, while it can make these 5 legendaries, it can also make weaker ones like Swabbie or Imp Commander. It is best to play this on the aquatic lane as it can trouble your opponent and grant it immunity to some powerful plants and instant-kill tricks like Super-Phat Beets or Template:PvZH Link. Otherwise, if you play Zombot Plank Walker in any other lane, it may make one of the two pirates on an aquatic lane, which can be either a Swabbie, an Unthawed Viking, or a Zombot Aerostatic Gondola (as it cannot make another Zombot Plank Walker).
For extra information, here is the list of pirates Zombot Plank Walker can make:
If you want to wreak even more havoc, use this with either Template:PvZHLink as he will boost Zombot Plank Walker every time it attacks due to its Strikethrough trait, or Mixed-Up Gravedigger to reactivate its ability, as well as taking your opponent by surprise as they are unable to know what lane it will emerge out of. Also, while Template:PvZH Link has no effect on this zombie due to it already having the Strikethrough trait, he can still be used to support the other pirate zombies Zombot Plank Walker makes.
As for synergies with zombies in other classes go, Gadget Scientist can make it do some devastating bonus attacks due to its science tribe, and Unlife of the Party will gain +3/+3 when you play this. However, only Template:PvZHLink and Impfinity can pull this off respectively.
Against
Zombot Plank Walker is really dangerous as it will instantly do huge damage to all plants, including plants with the Team-Up trait, as well as to you. To lower or avoid the damage done, use Water Balloons or Weed Whack to lower Zombot Plank Walker's stats, or Freeze it to buy some time. But for most, try to use instant-kill cards like Template:PvZHLink or Template:PvZHLink, which can also help with some pirates made by it as well in case of the latter.
Although most likely, if the two random pirates made is at least a Shieldcrusher Viking, you'll want to destroy that first. Otherwise, you may not block any attacks at all.
Unless you need to stall or it can ensure your victory, do not Bounce this zombie as it can be replayed to make even more pirates, which would increase the likelihood of a Shieldcrusher Viking or Intergalactic Warlord being made.
