Paddling Peel

Paddling Peel is a plant in Plants vs Zombies 2 introduced in Paddling Peel's summery season. He can fire bouncing beach balls down his lane that damage zombies but will pop after bouncing on 3 zombies. He pushes back nearby zombies and leaves behind a tough pool when eaten. The pool acts much like a Pumpkin, but it can be used as a land or water tile due to the shallowness of the pool. This enables plants who have special abilities that activate while in water, like SeaFlora, to activate their abilities.
== Origins ==
Paddling Peel is based on the banana, a long curved fruit which grows in clusters and has soft pulpy flesh and yellow skin when ripe. 
He also took inspiration from the paddling pool which is a shallow artificial pool for children to paddle in.

=== Plant Food effect ===
When fed with plant food, Paddling Peel will create a number of pools (depending on it's level) on random squares on the lawn which are occupied by plants. If he is the only plant on the lawn, the pools will appear on random squares.
=== Reinforce-mint effect ===
When boosted by Reinforce-mint, Paddling Peel's beach balls will deal an additional 150 damage and have no limit of zombies they can hit. If the Peel has already been eaten when Reinforce-mint is used, the Pool will be boosted instead and it will take 50% less damage while boosted.

== Strategies ==
Paddling Peel can be a powerful offensive plant and plays much like A.K.E.E. with slightly lower toughness. This makes him good at attacking zombies that come in large groups such as Zombie Chicken or Ice Weasel. He should not be played alone in Lost City levels, as Parasol Zombie would be able to easily get past him. He can also be played as a quick pushback due to his ability to push zombies away when eaten. This can be combined with his Pool's high toughness to create an effective way to hold back zombies for quite a long amount of time. He can be combined with SeaFlora to massively increase her power, as Paddling Peel's Pool is effectively a reverse Lily Pad combined with a Pumpkin. This can help to provide your lower-health plants with a health boost to stop zombies from eating them.
