Plant Defensive

Name Range Damage Pros Cons My notes Attacks Rarity for 1 Rarity for 3 Rarity for 5

Pea Cannon Long: Single Shot 20 Good damage and range, splash Poor accuracy, low health A nice plant to put down at closer ranges. Can dish out nice damage with splash. Large Pea Uncommon Common Uncommon

Pea Gatling Long: Rapid Fire 2 - 3 Accurate, fast firing, effective at range Lower damage This can be used in place of Pea Cannon at longer ranges. Accurate, but not the best damage. Small Pea Common Common Uncommon

Scaredy Shroom Long: Precision 30 Accurate, extremely effective at range, nice damage per shot Long reload, vulnerable at close range This works best with a long view of a path. Not best in cramped areas, due to the fact it hides, unless you have another nearby to guard it. Scaredy Shot Common Uncommon Rare

Lightning Reed Medium: Electric 20 Beam | 25 Blast Extremely accurate, has close range blast, electric damage Lower damage against single target, shortish range Put this somewhere relatively close to where a horde of zombies will be. This can easily overwhelm zombies. Lightning Beam | Lightning Blast Uncommon Rare Super Rare

Goop Shroom Medium: Stun 10 direct | 1-5 splash, 20 over time Splash damage, nice damage over time, stuns longer than Loudmouth Can be inaccurate, sometimes has poor "eyesight," enemies can shoot while stunned Place this somewhere at mid range, where slowing down will help. Placing more than one near a base can stunlock zombies. Super Goop (Direct hit) | Goop (Damage over time) Uncommon Rare Super Rare

Fume Shroom Medium: Armor Breaker 6 in a burst of 4 (6*4=24) Decent damage, takes down armored targets with ease, excellent accuracy Shortish range, sometimes has poor "eyesight" This should go near bases, in the case that an armored spawnable gets close. Acidic Bubbles Uncommon Rare Super Rare

Snap Dragon Close: Fire Continuous Nice health, damage over time Short range, sometimes has poor "eyesight," vulnerable when on cooldown, low damage Place near bases, where this can be effective. Don't put far away or it won't damage. Flame Breath Uncommon Rare Super rare

Bonk Choy Close: Melee 14 x 2 = 28 Good health Short range, sometimes has poor "eyesight," long reload, low damage, high health won't help it survive long with its damage Place near bases, where it can be effective. Uppercut Common Uncommon Rare

Ice Shroom Close: Ice Outburst of 25 Instant freeze, with one of these near you you can finish anything off, especially with a Shuck Shot. Short Range, long reload, low damage (but ice compensates) These work especially well near bases and around corners to immobilize unsuspecting zombies. Ice Blast Uncommon Rare Super Rare

Toxic Gloom Shroom Close: Toxic 20, toxic Outburst, nice damage, toxic damage, so spreads with infection Shortish range, takes a second to "inhale" (charge) Place them where they can be effective at close range. The damage can spread to nearby targets. Acidic Bubbles Uncommon Rare Super Rare

Doom Shroom Close: Explosive 200 Excellent damage; instant kill unless shielded zombie faces it, outburst, high health Shortish range, sometimes has poor "eyesight," vulnerable while reloading These shine when placed around corners. Unsuspecting zombies will get taken out easily! Doom Rare Super Rare Super Rare

Bamboo Shoot Long: Airstrike 15 damage in 6 total shots (15 x 6 = 90 damage maximum); splash damage which varies Decent damage, airstrike nature means this can be placed in shielded areas, can shoot over walls Can't attack under roofs, sometimes leads shots too much, rather small splash This is your pot that sits in the back and fires away. Put them away from the action, but make sure they're defended. Bamboo Strike Rare Super Rare Super Rare

Heal Flower Special: Healing 10 per sundrop; 5 sundrops (=50) Ideal for Pot n' run situations, can heal much HP very quickly, can heal themselves Takes a big to recharge, awful when groups surrounding this waiting for healing This works excellently when you're on a run and low on health. Just plop one down and run away with more health. AI will be distracted trying to take it out. -- Common Common Uncommon

Monk Choy Legendary Close: Melee 21 x 2 = 42 Amazing health (175). Better damage, but still not that great. Short range, sometimes has poor "eyesight," long reload, subpar damage Place near bases and around corners, where it can be effective. Dim Machoy 10 - Legendary -- --

Perfume Shroom Close: Explosive 200 Excellent damage; instant kill unless shielded zombie faces it, outburst, high health Shortish range, sometimes has poor "eyesight," vulnerable during long reload These shine when placed around corners. Unsuspecting zombies will get taken out easily! Perfume 10 - Legendary -- --

Zombie Defensive
Name	Range	Damage	Pros	Cons	My notes	Attacks	Rarity for 1	Rarity for 3	Rarity for 5
Rocket Bot	Long: "Single Shot"	10 x 3 = 30	Excellent damage output, slight splash damage	Inaccurate, low health	These are very versatile and can go pretty much anywhere and excel. Just their accuracy is low.	Rocket	Common	Common	Uncommon
Gatling Bot	Long: Rapid Fire	2-3	Accurate and effective at range. Nice fire rate.	Lower ammo than Pea Gatling, low damage	Use these if you know there will be Peashooters, Citrons, or Corns jumping around everywhere. They're accurate and in numbers can dish out quite a bit of damage.	Pew Pew	Common	Common	Uncommon
Hide n Shoot bot	Long: Precision	30	Nice damage per shot, accurate, extreme range, aims better than Scaredy Shroom	Long reload, vulnerable at close range	Place these where they have a view of a path they can shoot on. Don't place them near corners.	Splaser	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Mr. Freezy	Long: Ice	10	Dishes out nice damage, splash damage, accurate, 5 shots can freeeze, 3 burst firing	Can't instant freeze	With two of these near each other and you guarding, this is an amazing defense; one of the best IMO. They can freeze quickly, and they're accurate with splash damage.	Freezer Burn	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Mr. Electro	Medium: Electric	20	Damage can easily spread, very high HP	Shortish range, sometimes has poor "eyesight," no close range blast	The electric effect means that you can easily defeat plant swarms, with the health this has to survive.	Electric Strike	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Mr. Toxic	Medium: Toxic	8 shot \| 20 blast	Has long range toxic shots, decent damage, nice range for medium range	Toxic Shots are aimed for the base of plants, so it misses often if on uneven terrain	You can put this around a corner with a view or near a base; with its toxic shots that can spread as well	Toxic Shot/Toxic Blast	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Loudmouth Bot	Medium: Stun	25	Nice damage, "force field" stunning - hits anything in its burst and pushes plants, full stun, can pierce Citron Peel Shield	Short range for a mid range bot	Use these as you would use a close range. Near bases and around corners is ideal.	Loud Noises	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Breaker Bot	Medium: Armor Breaker	12	Has nice range, has arc so can sometimes hit over small hills, decent damage	Horribly inaccurate at long range or against fast targets	Place these with an area to shoot, where it has a decent view of where spawnables may be stepping. These are very inaccurate at ranges, but if it's actually facing what it's meant for, it's fine.	Smashy	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Boxer Bot	Close: Melee	12 x 3 = 36	OK health, better damage than Bonk Choy	Still OKish damage, short range, long reload, health won't help it survive long	Put around corners, where they can deal some damage to anything coming around.	One Two	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Mr. Toasty	Close: Fire	Continuous	Continuous damage, OK health	Short range, low damage	Use as you would use Boxer Bots. Place around a corner or near a base where plants will get by, get nicked, and the fire will continuously burn them.	Toasty Flame	Uncommon	Rare	Super rare
Explody Bot	Close: Explosive	250	Instant kill on heroes (except Iron Citron + Health upgrade, Torchwood), nice explosion radius, nice health	30s reload, sometimes has poor "eyesight"	Place near base or around corners. Around corners is better since they are more likely to survive. They can easily wipe players out.	Explosiony	Rare	Super rare	Super rare
Uplink Bot	Long: Airstrike	60	Long range, can shoot through ceilings, splash doesn't diminish with range, excellent damage	Can't land under a roof, longish reload, inaccurate	These can go away from action, along with those few places under roofs. They just can't land their shots under a roof.	Orbital Bombardment	Rare	Super rare	Super rare
Dr. Heals	Special: Healing	Continuous	Can easily heal many zombies at the same time, quickly heals	You need to camp by the bot to get health	These can go somewhere in the back area, or just plop one down and camp by it.	--	Common	Common	Uncommon
DJ Uplink Bot	Legendary Long: Airstrike	90	Much stronger and more powerful than Normal Uplink bot	A bit more noticeable than Normal Uplink Bot	These can go away from action, along with those few places under roofs. They just can't land their shots under a roof.	Party Hammer	10 - Legendary	--	--
Golden Gatling Bot	Long: Rapid Fire	2-3	Accurate and effective at range. Nice fire rate.	Lower ammo than Pea Gatling, low damage	Use these if you know there will be Peashooters, Citrons, or Corns jumping around everywhere. They're accurate and in numbers can dish out quite a bit of damage.	Pew Pew	10 - Legendary	--	--

Plant Offensive
Name	Health	Armor health	Damage Melee	Damage Ranged	Pros	Cons	My notes	Attacks	Rarity for 1	Rarity for 3	Rarity for 5
Weed	25	--	15	15	Many of these can overwhelm the base in TT, fast movement	Low health, no special attributes	The most basic plant spawnable. These can overwhelm, but can be taken out with their puny 25HP.	Weed Whip / Seed Spit	Common	Common	Uncommon
Pumpkin Weed	75	--	15	15	Decent health with nice speed	OKish health, no special attributes	These have more health than the normal Weed, so they can survive a bit, and are considered a big improvement. Don't reply on their health alone or in pair. Try to swarm as you would with other stuff.	Weed Whip / Seed Spit	Common	Common	Uncommon
Teracotta Weed	135/140	--	15	15	Highest unarmored health, fast, can survive capture zones and most bots	No special attributes	The best "normal" spwanable. These have health close to most heroes, so they can withstand a lot.	Weed Whip / Seed Spit	Common	Common	Uncommon
Leaf Shield Weed	75	55/60	15 / 15	15	Has shield, shield can absorb more damage than its health if it's done in a single shot (E.G. can survive ZPG hit), similar to all weeds, can still use Seed Spit with its shield	Very weak shield, almost not worth the slower speed	The most basic of the shielded spawnables. It has a weak shield but like all of them, the shield has the "alpha absorb" attribute, which means that it can survive a high damage hit despite having 50 HP, no rear armor	Weed Bash / Weed Whip / Seed Spit	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Wood Shield Weed	135/140	100	15 / 15	15	Has shield, shield can absorb more damage than its health if it's done in a single shot (E.G. can survive ZPG hit), similar to all weeds, can still use Seed Spit with its shield, big improvement to Leaf Shield Weed, excellent health	Somewhat slow, no rear armor	A large improvement over the Leaf Shield Weeds. You can spawn these, and their shields will absorb any damage with a large explosion radius.	Weed Bash / Weed Whip / Seed Spit	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Vase Weed	75	350	15 / 15	15	Armor has decent health, is all around except for face and base, can use Seed Spit while inside shell	Somewhat slow, may not last the full about 5 minutes of its survival time, plant itself has rather low health - easy to take out with Foot Soldiers	Second most armored spawnable. It's slow, so use it near the base to ensure it lasts as long as possible. Decent armor health but low plant health; accurate weapons can easily take this out. Toxic Brainz can easily farm Toxic Overload on this.	Weed Bash / Weed Whip / Seed Spit	Uncommon	Rare	Super rare
Porcelain Vase Weed	135/140	450	15 / 15	15	Highest armor of all spawnables, a swarm of these means trouble for zombies, or at least temporarily, can use Seed Spit while in shell.	Somewhat slow, may not last the 5 minutes of survival time	These are fortresses. They can overwhelm zombie bases and last a while, until they reach their time limit. Again, Toxic Brainz can farm his Toxic Overload on these.	Weed Bash / Weed Whip / Seed Spit	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Dandelion	25	--	Up to 50; varies	--	Fast, can pack nice damage if they reach their target, especially with swarms	Health on par with Weed, no ranged attack, takes time to explode	The hit n' boom weed. Spawn these to run to to enemies and explode. These will be taken out easily if spotted, unless their speed helps against that.	Dandelion Explode	Uncommon	Rare	Super rare
Hypno-shroom	75	--	Varies	Unconfirmed	Amazing plants that can confuse an opponent up close, or shoot pesky ranged attacks to take them out.	Hypno Pulse has low velocity, Hypno Leech only at close range, mediocre health	These are amazing to spawn anywhere. They can run up to an opponent, lock on the beam, and confuse them. They use their ranged attacks more than their leech attack.	Hypno Leech/Hypno Pulse/Hypno Shot	Super rare	Super rare	Super rare
Flag Weed	135/140	--	15	15	Boosts defense for plants, fast, excellent health	Doesn't follow plants in portal modes, and often wanders all over the place with teleporters active	Spawn these to assist your damage resistance while fighting. They won't stick with you, however, unless you're in the backyard!	Weed Whip/Seed Spit	Uncommon	Rare	Super rare
Heal Weed	110	--	15	15	Decent health, can heal themselves, moves quickly compared to Heal Zombie	Sundrops only heal 5/drop, never follows plants; so often goes on suicide missions	Due to the nature of how these don't follow and their bad group healing, these are better to spawn to heal themselves rather than healing others.	Weed Whip/Seed Spit	Uncommon	Rare	Super rare

Zombie Offensive
Name	Health	Armor health	Damage Melee	Damage Ranged	Pros	Cons	My notes	Attacks	Rarity for 1	Rarity for 3	Rarity for 5
Browncoat	25	--	15	25	Many of these can overwhelm the base in TT, fast movement	Low health, no special attributes	The most basic zombie spawnable. These can overwhelm, but can be taken out with their puny 25HP.	Zombie Hurt / Hard Rock Toss	Common	Common	Uncommon
Conehead Zombie	75	--	15	25	Decent health, fast movement	No special attributes	A step up from a Browncoat. These are more durable by 50HP, tripling their durability.	Zombie Hurt / Hard Rock Toss	Common	Common	Uncommon
Buckethead Zombie	135/140	--	15	25	Excellent unarmored health, fast movement	No special attributes	These have more than 100 HP than the standard browncoat. A couple of these can create some trouble with their very fast speed and high HP.	Zombie Hurt / Hard Rock Toss	Common	Common	Uncommon
Newspaper Zombie	75	50	15	25	Has a shield, zombie itself moves very quickly once it loses its shield	Weak shield, no rear armor	Has a shield with the "alpha absorb" attribute, which means that it can survive a high damage hit despite having 50 HP, but still had a weak shield otherwise. It will protect against some weaker fire, but two peashooter shots can get rid of the shield.	Zombie Hurt / Hard Rock Toss	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Screen Door Zombie	75	130	15	25	Has a very strong shield, which can protect itself from lots of fire and splash damage	Oddly enough, zombie itself has less health than the screen door.	Has a shield with the "alpha absorb" attribute, which means that it can survive a higher damaging shot than the shield (E.G, Sombrero Bean Bomb will take off the shield but not the zombie. Weird mechanics mean the shield has more health than the zombie itself.	Zombie Hurt / Hard Rock Toss	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Coffin Zombie	75	350	15	25	Full body armor, shoddy laser (though hardly used), many of these can swarm the base in TT mode	Slow, shoddy laser used less than in GW1, damage reduced from 25 to 15 from GW1, harder to hit directly than plant counterparts	Has a full shield. But they have changed mechanics from the previous game. Less damage and worse at shooting at range. They're still able to complete their goal, which is to use their armor to survive.	Zombie Hurt / Shoddy Laser \| Hard Rock Toss	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Outhouse Zombie	135/140	450	15	25	Full body armor, shoddy laser (though hardly used), many of these can swarm the base in TT mode, more durable than any other zombie spawnable, harder to hit directly than plant counterparts	Slow, shoddy laser used less than in GW1, damage reduced from 25 to 15 from GW1	Has a full shield. But they have changed mechanics from the previous game. Less damage and worse at shooting at range. They're still able to complete their goal, which is to use their armor to survive. These have the most health out of any zombie spawnable.	Zombie Hurt / Shoddy Laser \| Hard Rock Toss	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Flag Zombie	135/140	--	15	25	Provide a DEFENSE boost (don't get confused), excellent health, fast movement	Often wanders around in multiplayer, like the Heal Zombie, takes time to throw the Hard Rock Toss	These are good to assist you in a base capture, provided they stay with you (or based on their ability to follow, you stay with them). They're also good to spawn for an engineer building stuff, but the zombie's likely to aim for the capture point instead.	Zombie Hurt / Hard Rock Toss	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Heal Zombie	110	--	15	25	Actually follows players, heals very quickly, can heal multiple players at once, fast movement when not healing	Stutters when moving and healing at the same time, can't heal themselves	These are actually somewhat polar opposites from the plant counterpart, which is most likely unintentional, however. They are better for spawning for group healing, but suffer by themselves. Spawning another to accompany a Heal Zombie is also good. AKA Harry; thank ZEROxFUSIONZ for that one.	Zombie Hurt / Hard Rock Toss	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Exploding Imp	25	--	Up to 50; varies	--	Fast movement, small hitbox, a swarm of these can outright destroy a plant	Can easily be taken out, especially with splash, these only got one chance at attacking; can be stopped with a tall-nut.	These are small and pretty fast, along with packing a punch. But they can easily be dealt with, and an Iron Maiden is the complete enemy of these guys.	Imp Explosion	Uncommon	Rare	Super Rare
Karate Zombie	75	--	Varies based on attack	25	Fast movement, can jump high, can kick plants (out of rooted mode), can stun-kick.	Not that hard to take out, but their agility compensates somewhat.	These are amazing zombies, but they're extremely rare. It is possible for them to jump onto a roof unnoticed and kick a Peashooter out of Gatling Mode, which can hurt him severely. They are masters at close range, but they also have the Hard Rock Toss ability, which is icing on the cake.	Karate Chop, Hurricane Kick / Hard Rock Toss	Super Rare	Super Rare	Super Rare

It took me a lot of work making this, and there's still some missing information! And this may not be 100% accurate, especially the health values, but I got as close as I could in increments of 10. If anyone has corrected values, you may contact me below. Please share this, as I'm sure that these tables will be helpful. Thanks to all the people who have provided support! Several people on Discord have provided a ton of helpful feedback on the colors, and this wouldn't be the same without those people helping. In addition, this website is pinned to the /r/pvzgardenwarfare subreddit and ZackScottGames has seen and liked this information.

Here's some information about the servers I play on in the game. The more stars, the more frequently I'm on that server, and I also include the modes I play. This all applies to PC.
