Gooseberry (Milesprower2)

This page is for Milesprower2's  Gooseberry. If you are looking for Lily8763cp's version, see here.
The Gooseberry is a flying plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Final Showdown that flies through a row and pecks at airborne zombies, rapidly damaging them.
You can have one per row, and they take up no space on the ground, making them a very space-efficient method of dealing with flying zombies.
In addition to this, they will pop balloons with their pecks. The biggest downside is that they can also be damaged by flying zombies, and don't have the greatest health, meaning they are overwhelmed by groups and will often need replacing.
They also can't attack grounded zombies, so you're spending a lot of sun on just defending a few zombie types.
It is unlocked after beating Day 7 of Doom Dungeon.
Made by Milesprower2. Original concept by Pepearl.
==Origin==
It is based on the real-life plant called the gooseberry, while its bird-like appearance is a reference to geese, a kind of bird.
==Appearance==
A medium-sized green berry plant that resembles a bird, with wings, a beak, and a somewhat long neck like a goose.

==Strategies==
Gooseberries deal damage to flying zombies much faster than most other options, aside from the instant kill options such as Blover. Because of this, they can defeat most flying zombies before receiving any damage, provided the zombies don't attack in groups at once. In medium-length levels, they are a decent option for eliminating flying zombies without using up any space on the lawn, provided you can set up one in every row fast enough.
In longer levels they may need support or replacement due to the groups they are likely to face, so in those cases Blover, Flowervator, or Anti-Air Tree might be more effective options depending on what works best with your strategy.
