Peach Ball

Peach Ball is a plant in Plants vs. Zombis 2 and the first plant to be unlocked in Kingshell Cove. She is a lobbing plant who attack by tossing beach balls, the ball will then bounce off the zombie she hits and back to Peach Ball's original spot, she will hit it again with her leaf as it bounce right back to the zombie, repeating this for 5 times with increasing speed, making each hit faster, until the 5th hit explode on the zombie, dealing 100 DPS in 3x3 area.
If the ball didn't reach 5 hits before the zombie dies, it will simply pop and not explode.
She has the special property of being able to damage Water Spirit Zombie with both the direct hit and the explosion attack due to the ball bouncing off the water.
==Origins==
Peach Ball is based on the peach, edible juicy fruits with various characteristics. Her name is a portmanteau of "Beach Ball", a toy ball played often in beaches, and "peach," the type of plant this is based on.

== Strategies ==
Peach Ball is powerful under the right situation. Her explosion attack can only trigger every 5th hit, which can be deadly in 3x3, but if the zombie die before that, it will not active and instead be a mediocre attacker. She shines against high health zombie at the front with a group of other zombies around them, which allows Peach Ball to damage the smaller zombies, as well as activating the explosion to deal extra damage on the high health zombie. In short, she is good at single target, with the benefit of taking out groups alongside the single target attack. 
Due to being a lobbing attacker, in Ancient Egypt or Dark Ages, she can ignore tombstones and go straight for the zombie, the explosion can clean out some tombs too.
There are 2 types of obstacle she is very good against, which are Tent and Arcade Machine. As they spawn zombies with just enough health to activiate the explosion, and it can also damage those obstacle with the range.
She is useful in Big Wave Beach (What did you expect) as her projectile can hit submerged Snorkel Zombies. Be careful of Fisherman Zombies as unlike in Strikes Back, she isn't a counter for them here.
However in Lost City and Dark Ages, Parasol Zombies and Jester Zombies can completely stop her from doing any attacks, so the player should be aware of them and bring other attackers to help.
In Kingshell Cove, she is a must pick due to her ability to hurt Water Spirit Zombie without any gimmicks. This is especially good in Shell-shocked Shores, the world's endless zone, as she is unlocked at the start to counter them.
