Plants vs Zombies 2 - Plant of the Week - Hocus Crocus - January 2025

50 Hocus Crocus seeds are awarded for completing this event consisting of five (5) levels.

Plant of the Week - Hocus Crocus - was offered between January 25, 2025 through February 1, 2025.

Hocus Crocus is a member of the Enchant-Mint family.
Hocus Crocus costs 200 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 2, 4, 7 and 10.)
Every 15 seconds, Hocus Crocus will teleport the leftmost zombie on the lawn back to the beginning. (-1 second per level. -1 additional second on level 10.)
Every time a zombie is teleported this way, the zombie will take 100 damage. (+25 damage per level.)
When given plant food, Hocus Crocus will teleport three (3) zombies back to the beginning. (+1 zombie per level.)

Commentary:
Apart from the cute name, this plant is a permanent version, albeit a weaker version, of Thyme Warp. Any plant that can take the closest zombie to the house and make it walk the lawn all over again is worth a look.

Bottom line:
When Hocus Crocus debuted, it was expensive, didn't do enough damage and didn't teleport more than a few zombies. Hocus Crocus is still expensive, does more damage and most importantly, teleports more zombies. The teleporting is the reason to play this plant and this plant is worth a 2nd look now.
