==Strategies==
General Panzerpod can boost your plants massively since his restricted to peashooting plants, plants like Repeater is your best option for him early in the game. Peashooter might also be good to quickly increase General Panzerpod's level but might not be that useful due to the fact that you need to plant a column of them.
His "Pea Blast" ability will be able to aid the early game a lot, being able to deal with a single basic zombie can reduce cost of your defense early game and allow you to use them to building more sun producers, this will allow you to plant more defense later on. It can also used to destroy a large crowd of zombies later in the game and can also be used to destroy zombie that appear into your defense. 
Call to Arm ability should be used only be used on Pea Plants due to its double the speed boost on Pea Plant, however, avoid using it on Skyshooter as it won't decrease the aim time.
His General Markserpod skin is great for Early game but then get worse than his normal counterpart, with his early game being dominated by his bouncy peas which can hit almost all zombies in an area, his pea unfortunately cannot bounce enough to handle the amount of zombies late game
