Leechidistra's ability is to leech zombie's health is a pretty good staller, making him for a pretty, pretty decent pick for players. His ability to trap zombies would be a bit too similar to . At level 1, he can only trap 2 zombies, which might be tough to look at, critters like chickens from or weasels from would still eat him, sometimes the critters wikl past him nor eating him, sometimes don't, as ended up killing it. Plants like , , , and even outclassed them, since he can drain zombies health. If you level up him, he could trap more zombies, so critters are now defeated instead of eating. He would be useful when there is a Wall plant next to him. His Plant Food effect can now easily defeat Chicken Wranglers and Weasel Horders without releasing the critters on the lawn. Leechidistra cannot trap large zombies like Gargantuars, Zombie King, or Z-Mech, and Zombots due to being a small plant. 
In the Chinese Version of PvZ2, if you bring him to Sky City, it's almost useless to him, expect which he can be trapped one single pilot imp out there. But, he cannot trap the following zombies exclusive to the Chinese version:
*Han Bronze
*Knight Bronze
*Qigong Bronze
*Cavalry Zombie's horse
*Shell Zombie (unless the armor breaks)
*Zombie Walrus
*Egg Stealer Imp
*Riot Police Zombie
*Mino Zombie
*Mirror Queen Zombie
*Pumpkin Knight Zombie
*Bungee Zombie
*Elite Zombies that would get crushed easily
*and even none other than Blade-wielding Hero, which are the reason why because those zombies are way too big for him, and he can only trap small zombies like Coneheads, and even Brickhead variants.
