Pot Device

Pot Device is a plant that costs 150 sun and is unlocked from the Crazy Dave’s Manor in Plants vs Zombies: Defender of the Lawn. Pot Device, when defeated or dug up, will activate a random special effect that varies based on a number of factors. 
== Overview ==
Pot device, when dug up or defeated by a zombie, will activate a random effect from a list of certain effect, depending on surrounding plants. These include: 
* A 3x3 explosion which does 1800 damage. 
*A 1x9(Lane-wide) explosion which does 1800 damage 
*5/6x9(whole lawn) stun for 5 seconds. 
* 3 ‘dark matter bubble’ projectiles which move outwards to different zombies, exploding into a 1x1 area, dealing 200 damage and poisoning affected zombies for 10 seconds (50 dmg/second).
* Healing all plants on the lawn to full health.
* Producing 450 sun (9x50 sun pieces.
* Getting rid of zombie armor pieces in a 5x5 area.
* Hypnotising 10-15 random zombies on the lawn.
* Generating a ‘black hole’ which lasts for 10 seconds luring in all zombies in a 3x3 radius dealing 80dmg/second. Pot Device also is incapable of being moved in anyway.
Digging up Pot Device will not give lost sun back unless it uses its ability to produce sun. 
If one of these plants are in a 3x3 area of the Pot Device, an effect will initiate depending on the plant. If multiple of these plants are nearby, a random plant is chosen for the effect.

== Origins ==
Pot device is a pun on the term, "plot device" (when an overpowered item/character is used to solve a problem in an impossible way) and pot, as in a container used to hold plants typically with soil.
== Upgrades ==
Plant Food-Summons another Pot Device on a random tile, if no other tile is available then use a random special effect
Hyper Upgrade Effect-Increase health from 1 to 2500 and activate a random special effect every 10 second while getting attacked. This is permanent until the pot device is slain.
== Strategies ==
Pot Device should not be used in levels where you can’t lose a specific amount of plants due to the fact he requires being defeated. Due to Pot Device’s ability to manually force it to use a specific ability by planting specific plants, he can be much more useful, the player could use the stunning effect combined with melee plants such as bonk choy or spikeweed to do heavy damage or could be combined with plants such as primal pea to knock zombies back heavily, some other strats with this ability include:
Planting with infinut and digging up to heal all the defences
Planting with Hypno Shroom and digging up can provide a decent amounts of zombie minions
In the mid-stages of the game, he can provide a lot of sun with Sun Shroom and digging up for 450 sun, which proves especially useful for some quick, instant sun.
*Note that digging up will not give sun back unless using sun production ability. Lily pads are not recommended to use as he can already go on water tiles. Imitator can work well with Pot Device as he has an incredibly long recharge time. Most zombies that push plants back can’t do damage meaning they will be stuck at Pot Device if alone.
