Shackleberry

Shackleberry is a plant that can be obtained in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time, obtained by collecting 500 Shackleberry seed packets during the Shackleberry tournament. Shackleberries are defensive plants that lock onto a zombie's heel and permanently stops it from moving. Shackleberry can lock on up to 3 different targets at a time. Every time Shackleberry locks onto a zombie, it gains a new ability. It's first ability allows Shackleberry to latch onto zombies in other lanes. The second ability allows Shackleberry to hold onto Gargantuars while also giving Shackleberry a special chain to hold onto one. The final ability gives Shackleberry the ability to do damage to it's current 'prisoners'. Keep in mind that once Shackleberry obtains an ability, it keeps that ability until it gets eaten by a zombies or until it gets shoveled up by the player.
==Origin==
 Shackleberry's name is a portmanteau of Huckleberry, also known as the Vaccinium, also known as the Thinleaf Huckleberry, Tall Huckleberry, Big Huckleberry, Mountain Huckleberry, Square-twig Blueberry, and (ambiguously) as "Black Huckleberry". and Shackle, a pair of fetters connected together by a chain, used to fasten a prisoner's wrists or ankles together.
==Strategies==
Shackleberry is a very useful plant due to it having a high defense stat, with the only downside being it's sun cost and it's recharge time both of which can easily be fixed with some Plant Food and lots of Sunflowers. This plant is unbearably strong when paired with Aloe since Aloe can heal Shackleberry. Shackleberry's placement on the lawn does not matter due to it's immensely high defense stat.

==Trivia==
*This was actually made before Scorchia, but was officially made after because I already had ideas for Scorchia.
*Shackleberry is very similar to Gumnut in a sense since it only takes 1000 damage from Gargantuars and stops zombies from moving.
*Shackleberry's official weight is equal to 20 tons.
