Sleepea

Sleepea is a gemium plant introduced in Plants vs. Zombies 2, added during Part 1 of the Raa-kuza Metro world update. It's name is a portmanteau of the word 'sleepy' and the word 'pea,' based off the fact that it is a type of Peashooter.
== Overview ==
When planted on the lawn, Sleepea will fire off blue, cloudy peas at zombies in front of it. Like most other Peashooters, it travels in a straight line at a semi-decent rate of fire, and always hit the first zombie in front of it. Occasionally, once a zombie is hit by the blue pea, it will become tired, becoming much slower, similar to the effects of a Snow-Pea. Unlike the Snow-Pea, however, it also makes zombies much weaker, doing less damage and taking more damage from non-Sleepea attacks. After a few seconds, the effects will wear off. If a Sleepea were to hit a tired zombie with a special pea, the tired zombie will instead fall asleep, similar to when it is buttered, standing in place while sleeping loudly. 
Sleeping is slightly different from buttering or freezing, as it can stop zombies from doing certain actions, in a way calming it down. The following is a list of effects that the Sleepea can stop by making the zombie sleep.
* All types of Gargantuars will be too tired to throw their Imp after sleeping
* Seagull Zombies and Pelican Zombies will fall down when they go to sleep, instantly defeating it, similarly to Kernal-pult or Headbutter Lettuce
* Zombie Bulls and Rodeo Legend Zombies will be too tired to throw the Imps on their back
* Hunter Zombies will throw their snowballs at a slower rate at plants, and they'll also have a much shorter range.
* Dodo Rider Zombies will be too tired to fly over plants or special tiles
* Bug Zombies will drop the zombie it holds when it falls asleep, making it act like a normal zombie
* Jester Zombies will be too tired to reflect plant projectiles after sleeping
* Wizard Zombies will use their powers at a slower rate to turn plants into sheep
* Punk Zombies will be too tired to kick away plants
* MC Zom-B will swing it's mic at a slower rate, and can only throw it at the plant directly in front of it
* Breakdancer Zombie will be too tired to kick zombies forward
* All types of 'big' zombies (i.e Arcade Zombies, Troglobites) will be too tired to push objects forward
* If surfing, Surfer Zombies will fall asleep on their boards, falling back and instantly being defeated
* Octo Zombies will throw their octopi at a much slower rate, and have a much shorter range
* Fishermen Zombies will pull plants to it at a much slower rate, and have a much shorter range
* Newspaper Zombies and Sunday Edition Zombies will instantly calm down after sleeping when they are enraged
* All-Star Zombies will stop rushing forward after sleeping
* Kitty Zombies will calm down after being enraged by loud noises after sleeping

Sleepeas fire drousy peas at zombies, making them tired and occasionally put them sleep
Special: Can calm down certain zombies
"H-huh, wha-?" Sleepea yawns, just waking up from a 3 minute nap. "What do you want? Z-zombies? Really? Of all the plants, you want me to take care of them? *yawn* Why can't you use, like, m-my brother Snow-Pea or whatever... you need me? Alright, fine, but you owe me this one..."
== Strategies ==
If used properly, Sleepea can be a very strong plant. Although it's peas aren't too powerful compared to other Peashooters, it's sleeping abilities can help out quite a bit. By making zombies tired, it can easily make otherwise strong zombies weaker, therefore can be taken care of more easily. It's special sleeping abilities can also help out a lot. Not only does stopping in zombies in place make it quite useful, but it can also make certain special zombies have there abilities nerfed or even taken away, making them much less of a hassle to deal with.
In Neon Mixtape Tour, they can make zombies such as Punk Zombies and MC Zom-B not use their abilities, even during their jams. This can make these otherwise quite powerful zombies pushovers, acting like regular zombies. Breakdancer Zombies are also good to put to sleep, but it is important to know that due to them kicking away zombies, it will most likely be defended by the zombies it kicks, making it quite difficult to make tired, let alone put to sleep.
In Big Wave Beach, a world filled with very strong zombies, Sleepeas are very useful in this. It can instantly defeat Surfer Zombies, which can prevent them from making barriers or crushing plants. Octo Zombies can also be heavily nerfed, making an otherwise deadly zombie easily defeated. Fishermen Zombies can also be easily nerfed, but like the Breakdancer Zombies, they are commonly behind other zombies, making them hard to hit. If there are multiple strong zombies in a lane, which is common in a world like Big Wave Beach, using Sleepea's Plant Food ability can be very useful, putting a ton of zombies to sleep at once. If you have no Plant Food on you, then putting a Sleepea directly in front of a zombie you want to nerf can be a viable option, but you should take note of it's decently high sun cost.
In Modern Day and Raakuza Metro, Sleepeas can calm down angered Newspaper Zombies and Kitty Zombies, which it was what they were built for. Like with other rushing zombies, such as All-Star Zombies or Rodeo Legend Zombies, because they move so fast, they are commonly directly in front of other zombies, making them quite easy to put to sleep. Sleepeas are particularly useful against Kitty Zombies, as they can be put to sleep and calmed down, which may be difficult without the use of Mute Canes.
