Popcorn (PvZ2)

Popcorn is a seed packet premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 as part of the Popcorn's Popping Season. Popcorn requires 250 seed packets to unlock.
Popcorn behaves similarly to Potato Mine, he will take 14 seconds to arm and explode when a zombie contacts him, dealing 1800 damage in 1x1 area. What makes Popcorn different from Potato Mine is he turns into a popcorn upon exploding. Popcorn after explosion behaves like a weaker Wall-nut that absorbs 1500 damage.
Unlike Potato Mine, Popcorn can be planted on Lily Pad and planked tiles in Pirate Seas.
== Origins ==
Popcorn is based on the plant with the same name from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures.
Popcorn's new ability to leave a popcorn that acts as a shield is inspired by Popcorn's popping animation after killing a zombie.

== Upgrades ==
=== Plant Food effect ===
When given Plant Food, Popcorn immediately explodes in 3x3 area, dealing 2000 damage, leaving a popped Popcorn as well as spawning two armed Popcorns onto random tiles.
=== Bombard-mint effect ===
When boosted by Bombard-mint. Popcorn's arming time is significantly reduced to 1 second and his explosion damage is increased to 2400 damage. Additionally, popped Popcorn's health is increased to additional 4000 damage.
== Strategies ==
Popcorn can be used as a fused Potato Mine and Wall-nut at early game to repel the first few threats such as Coneheads and Bucketheads while leaving popped Popcorn that acts as a weaker Wall-nut to block other zombies.
Popcorn also has an advantage over Potato Mine is he is not an underground plant, meaning he can be planted on planked tiles in Pirate Seas and Lily Pad in Big Wave Beach.

== Trivia ==
* Popcorn is the remake of one of the creator's oldest creations, which dated back to February 2017.
* His Almanac entry mentions some of the most notable corn plants in the series, namely Kernel-pult, Kernel Corn, Cob Cannon and Cornucopia.
* Popcorn's previous artwork relied on stitching on textures from other plants, which the creator had done so to other plants at the time. His new artwork is now drawn closer to his Adventures appearance.
