Shadow Peashooter - was offered between Match 2, 2024 through March 9, 2024.

If Shadow Peashooter is powered by Moonflower or other means, it will fire a dark laser which does 70 damage to all zombies in the lane. (+5 damage per level.)
If Shadow Peashooter is powered, each dark laser will stall the zombie for five (5) seconds.
If Shadow Peashooter is powered, it can swallow two (2) zombies who reach it. (+1 zombie on levels 5 and 9.)

Commentary:
Shadow plants have great synergy between them and Shadow Peashooter adds nicely to this synergy. We have found that a column of Shadow Peashooters on column 1. Some may argue that column 3 is a better location as thrown imps from Gargantuars would be swallowed up and thus be neutralized. While this is indeed true, Shadow Peashooter has a tendency to hide whenever a zombie get close and when this plant is hiding, it is not attacking any zombies. Shadow Peashooter has a touch of scaredy-cat in him so even a zombie on column 4 in a lane above or below will cause this plant to hide. Not exactly good when you want to eliminate zombies.

Bottom Line:
If you do not have this plant, you really should obtain it. As you can see from these walk-throughs, this is a nice plant. When Dusk Lobber or Dragon Bruit get added to the lawn, one can see the devastation this can bring to the horde.

We do not get a preview of Penny's Pursuit before it is released. So what you see is what players get.

We also try to vary the strategies from week to week and showcasing different plants and strategies and ideas. Using the same strategy week after week would be boring to see.
