Chilly Pepper (PvZ2)

Chilly Pepper is an Arena instant-use plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, tied along with "Chilly Pepper's Winter Wonderland Season" in Arena. He can be obtained by collecting 300 seed packets of him hidden in Frostbite Caves pinata or Premium Pinata in store.
Chilly Pepper was a polar opposite of Jalapeno, as he can freeze the entire lane of zombies and taking a little damage upon them, 40DPS exactly. However, upon exploding, he has a small chance of creating an ice trap which freeze zombies in place upon contacting with them, similar to Iceberg Lettuce.
== Origins ==
He's based on a plant from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures and Plants vs. Zombies Heroes with the same name, ability, and appearance.

=== Winter-mint's effect ===
When being affected by Winter-mint's ability, Chilly Pepper now receive a 80DPS damage upon zombies and has a small chance to make zombies trapped in ice blocks, blocking zombies and preventing them go through them, similar to Ice Bloom.
== Strategies ==
Chilly Pepper was very good to freeze a ton of zombies in a single lane, so the player can restore him if there are a ton of zombies on a single lane, which can prioritize every single plants the player set up. After the zombies are frozen in place by this plant, using piercing plants like Bloomerang and Laser Bean is highly recommended as they can pierce their projectiles onto multiple zombies.
The player can use Sweet Potato to attract multiple zombies in order to trap them. After that, use Chilly Pepper exactly in time. You can't use Hot Date if there was a Gargantuar in the way, and upon his explosion, the frozen Gargantuar will melt and throw an Imp past to your defenses. Gladiator Gargantuar is also a bit threatening with his high health and forcing to throw Roman Imp past to the player's defenses.
Despite the seed packets were obtained via. Frostbite Caves pinatas by replaying each levels, you can't use it in Frostbite Caves levels since most zombies are immune to it, but luckily slow them down.
