Shockleberries

Shockleberries is the fourth plant unlocked in Lightning Ridge in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, after beating Level 6A. Shockleberries can be eaten by zombies, giving the zombie a permanent status effect which gives it periodical shocks that do damage at regular intervals. If the zombie has any metal gear on them (e.g. buckets and screen doors), the metal gear can conduct this electricity and spread the shocks to nearby zombies in a 3×3 area (other zombies won't get the status effect, rather they just experience the shocks as long as the zombie who ate Shockleberries is nearby and is still equipping their metal gear). If the shocks reach any other zombies with metal gear, those zombies have a small chance of spreading the shock to zombies in its vicinity too.
== Origins==
Shockleberries' name is a portmanteau of the words ‘shock’ and ‘huckleberry’. The name huckleberry is used commonly in North America for several plants in the heather family (as its name suggests, these plants grow berries). The word ‘shock’ is a reference to its ability to give zombies electrical shocks.
==Almanac entry==
Shockleberries
Sun cost: 25
Recharge: Sluggish
Zombies that eat Shockleberries will experience periodical shocks that can spread to other zombies if the zombie is equipped with metal gear.
Usage: Single-use
Special: Zombies that wield metal gear can pass the shocks to other zombies nearby.
"Did you really think our almanac entry would've had some pun based on electricity?" asks one of the Shockleberries. "If you did, then that's shocking, because you'd be right."
== Upgrades==
===Plant Food power===
When fed Plant Food, Shockleberries will charge up. The zombie that then eats the Shockleberries will immediately get electrocuted (if Shockleberries gets smashed by Gargantuars or run over by vehicles, the effect will still trigger), and also spread shocks to all zombies in a 5×5 area, dealing 500 DPS to zombies, and an extra 300 DPS for those that wield metal gear.

==Strategies==
Shockleberries works somewhat similar to poison-inflicting plants (like Shadow-shroom from Plants vs. Zombies 2), in which it is a single-use that deals damage to the zombie that eats it over time. Shockleberries, however, work best in levels where zombies wielding metal objects are abundant. To use Shockleberries to its full potential, try planting it near groups of metal-wielding zombies. This'll increase the amount of zombies that the shocks can reach, damaging a larger amount of zombies at the same time and making a plant that costs only 25 sun more worthwhile. Since Shockleberries requires the zombies to wield metal objects to be more effective, it is advised not to bring its seed packet along with Magnet-shroom's in the same level, as Magnet-shroom would make the area-of-effect smaller for Shockleberries since metal objects are being taken away from the zombies.
