Pult-Of-Gold

Pult-Of-Gold is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is a Gizmo plant for the Arma-mint family, similar to Gargantuar-pult. He specialized in dealing area-of-effect damage with his gold coins and gold bars and makes zombies more vulnerable to damage, as well as boosting Arma-mint family plant's attack speed and decrease resting time. His main attack is to lob gold coins and gold bars, which can deal damage in an area that gets bigger when his phase are higher. He has two other ability, first is to make zombies more vulnerable to damage, the other is to make Arma-mint family plants attack faster. For his Phase 5, he gains the ability to stun zombie slightly with his main attack, like Apple Mortar. For his phase 10, he gains the activated ability Midas Touch, which turn zombies into gold that can block other zombies from advancing.
Only one Gizmo plant can be brought into a level, and only one can exist at a time. They are not damaged or affected by zombie attacks. Gizmos consume all plants of their family when planted, and gain extra power based on the total sun value of the plants consumed. For example, if a Gizmo were to consume 1200 sun worth of plants, they would reach Phase 5 and be considerably stronger than Phase 1. All Gizmo plants have 10 Phases, with new abilities added at Phase 5 and Phase 10.
Unlike other Gizmo plants, Pult-Of-Gold is unique in his unlock method. As Arma-mint seed packet already unlock Gargantuar-pult, he instead count how many coins and gems the player picked up. With each silver coins count as 1 point, gold coins count as 2 points and gems count as 5 point, the player need to get 750 points in order to unlock him. Note that currency gained from other places such as buying from shop or Piñata will not count, however Marigold does. Pult-Of-Gold cannot be upgraded and has no Mastery levels.
Gizmo plants are designed to thrive in Arena, especially when fighting Dr. Zomboss, and are not made for Adventure.
Pult-Of-Gold is unique from other Gizmo plants in his appearance due to him having 3 looks depending on his phases.
==Origins==
Pult-Of-Gold is based on Cabbage-pult, a plants in Plants vs. Zombies 2, and pot of gold, a myth from Ireland where leprechaun hides their gold in a pot at the end of rainbow, Pult-Of-Gold's Phase 10 appearance has a rainbow to reflect this.

==Strategies==
Pult-Of-Gold main usage is in Arena, especially fighting Dr. Zomboss. Just like all other Gizmo plants, his main drawback is his cost. When comparing him to other Gizmo plants, he is stronger at group damage with 3x3 area-of-effect damage at phase 1 and 5x5 at phase 10. They are good at group control, mainly taking out a bunch of zombies with his attacks and making them weaker with his ability. This is especially powerful in Arena Tournament with too many zombies to deal with. They are also good at dealing with Zombots, although more as support; he can increase damage taken from Zombots and even stun them at higher phases. 
Compare to Defense Pearagon, they are better at single target, which means they should be focusing on dealing damage to Zombot directly. But for Pult-Of-Gold, he can take out minions and deal damage to Zombots, but with less damage. They should be paired with strong Arma-mint family plants like Banana Launcher or Coconut Cannon to fight Zombots, as he can boost their attack speed, he also decreases their resting time, allowing for more destruction. 
His Midas Touch ability can turn zombies into gold, which act as defense for plants, if he transforms defensive zombies like Gargantuar into gold, they can be even more protective, stopping zombies from advancing which gives the player more points in Arena, though remember this ability is only for Phase 10.

== Trivia ==
* Pult-Of-Gold beta name was Pult-O'-Gold, and looks like a normal Cabbage-pult with assets from Angry Birds (As seen from above).
** He was not meant to be a Gizmo plant, and instead was supposed to be in an unreleased PvZH set that was horribly balanced, therefore never saw the light of days.
* Pult-Of-Gold gaining different appearances depending on his phases is based on the Paragons in Bloons Tower Defense 6, where they also change appearance depending on the degree.
* Pult-Of-Gold different appearances has Seed Packet icon, but was not used in-game, this is because the appearance only changes when they're planted.
