Count Fruitula

Count Fruitula is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is obtained by getting 200 seed packets of him. Count Fruitula attacks from close to bite zombies and suck power from them. He bites every 1.5 seconds. Every 5 bites, Count Fruitula will gain 5 attack points and 50 toughness points. these can stack up to 90 for attack and 900 for toughness. 25 seconds after filling up any of his stats, he will spit juice that can hit up to 3 zombies, this juice deals a total of 500 damage to every target, this means that it can deal up to 1500 damage, then, the maxed out stat will lose all of its buffs.
Count Fruitula can´t suck power from the following zombies:
* (with sarcophagus)
*
*
*Plague Doctor Zombie
*
*Tank Zombie
*
*
*All Bosses
==Origins==
He is based on the Annona coriacea, also known as Fruta del Conde, a fruit tree native to Brazil. His name is a spoof of Count Dracula.
Ok so a fast explanation in case you don’t understand the pun. Count Dracula in Spanish is Conde Drácula, and the fruit which Count Fruitula is based on is named Fruta del Conde. End of the fast explanation.
His appearance is based on Frostferatu, a character from Bot Bots (the Netflix reboot one).

==Strategies ==
Count Fruitula is a great melee attacker, it deals descent damage and regenerates himself after 5 bites, so, if every bite is every 1.5 seconds, then it must take about 7.5 seconds for Count Fruitula to gain power from a victim. Keep in mind that Count Fruitula cannot suck power from every zombie, there are 2 zombies both in and that Count Fruitula is not able to suck power from, so I wouldn’t recommend using him there.
Placing Count Fruitula near the front lines to make sure he's biting zombies most of the time (I recommend giving him a vine so he doesn’t lasts less than 5 seconds). His continuous bites will boost his toughness at the end, but it might take some time.
The burst juice effect can be very useful due to the big amount of damage dealt. This can be useful against zombies with health below 500, like Coneheads. Keep in mind that the juice spit can hit up to 3 targets, so you may want to put your targets together first, you can do this with help of , , , Grab-o-Chomper and other plants that move zombies.
Count Fruitula’s bite range is not very short, so, you can place it with defensive plants like or (Any shield plant works so it doesn’t matters). The additional toughness Count Fruitula gains from biting zombies will help him withstand more damage and continue to bite zombies.
Due to Count Fruitula’s melee attack, I wouldn’t recommend using him against ranged zombies like , Robo-bucket Zombie, Tank Zombie, or Ranged Bots
