History Characters / PlantsVsZombies2ItsAboutTimePlants

Not found in any particular world, these plants are unlocked either with gems or real money.

Returning plants: Snow Pea, Squash, Torchwood, Jalapeno, Imitater, Starfruit, Hypno-Shroom, Chomper, Cactus (although it works rather differently), Explode-O-Nut (also works differently), Pumpkin, Gatling Pea (now known as Mega Gatling Pea).

* PowerCreep: While in concept Explode-o-Vine is used to help a plant in danger by acting as a weak wall as well as exploding and knocking back oncoming threats, his damage output is equal to a Cherry Bomb, meaning you can just use him as an instant that explodes once on impact and again when eaten, and has a ten second recharge time.

* BuriedAlive: It drags them back into the ground where they ought to belong.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: According to his almanac entry, he feels this way about his ability to push zombies back with his fiery tornadoes.

* CanonImmigrant: From ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombiesAdventures'' and ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombiesHeroes''.

* PowerCreep: Big time. For just 25 more than a Bloomerang, which doesn't mean much in a 50 sun meta, you can get a monster that hits all zombies on lane, even hitting zombies off screen. With how waves works, Laser Bean's biggest flaw over Boomerang is that it speeds up the waves because it does that much damage. Laser Bean also has the special ability of being able to hit a lot of special zombies consistently such as Wizard and Prospector, who's main line of defense is hiding behind hordes of bulkier zombies.

* PowerCreep: For some ungodly reason, his explosion is the same as a Cherry Bomb, making it the infinitely better option thanks to a nifty 50 sun and a 10 second recharge. It has the issue of being required to be eaten, though this can be solved by planting another one where zombies weren't hit. Along with that, hordes of zombies are likely to tear it down quickly anyways, being less than a Wall-Nut.

* PowerCreep: Dear LORD. While in concept Explode-o-Vine is used to help a plant in danger by acting as a weak wall as well as exploding and knocking back oncoming threats, it's damage output is equal to a Cherry Bomb, meaning you can just use him as an instant. That explodes once on impact and again when eaten. And has TEN seconds recharge time.

* [[MagmaMan Magma Plant]]: He contains lava and erupts like a volcano.

* {{An Ice P|erson}}lant: In contrast to the fire-based Snapdragon.
* AreaOfEffect: He hits a 2x3 area in front of him. Unlike Snapdragon, it ''does not'' hit the square directly above and below it.

* PunnyName: Besides having a dragon theme thanks to Snapdragon, it's also one to the term "ColdSnap" and Snapdragon.
* StatusEffects: Causes a slow status via chilling. If given Plant Food, it causes Freeze on zombies in its area of effect.

* DevelopersForesight: Using this against the Dodo Rider will actually shrink the Rider Imp into oblivion, as will using it against Gargantuars and Zombie Bulls.

* DamageIncreasingDebuff: A strange variation, each hit from its projectiles only makes other Blooming Heart projectiles deal increased damage.
* GameBreakingBug: In its initial release, its projectiles are glitched, sometimes dealing massive amounts of damage (a OneHitKill), but more often dealing no damage at all to a certain zombie.
* HeartBeatDown: Her ability in a nutshell.

* MagikarpPower: It deals weak damage at first, but each following projectile on the same zombie will deal increasingly higher amounts of damage.

* StatusEffects: Despite visually resembling Charm, its projectiles cause more of a specific defense-down debuff.

* ShowsDamage: When he gets eaten enough.

* LazyBum: In Sun Bean's almanac entry, it is mentioned that Spring Bean is "plain lazy."

%%ZCE * LightEmUp: With Plant Food.

%%ZCE; fire what? * PinballProjectile: They fire these. If you were familiar with Wall-nut Bowling in the first game, Bowling Bulb does similar to what Wall-nut does in the bowling minigame.

* PerpetualSmiler: Like her normal counterpart, she's always smiling.

%%ZCE * CoolHelmet: Gains one as his Plant Food ability.

%%ZCE * CuteGhostGirl: Although she becomes [[NightmareFace significantly less cute]] when attacking.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite being a Shadow Plant and having poison-based abilities, it's one of the good guys.

* ActionGirl: The only offense-based Shadow Plant that's female.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite being a Shadow Plant, she's one of the good guys.

* HerdHittingAttack: Its damage per second is even lower than Cabbage-Pult, but its projectiles deal a large area of SplashDamage, and with its triple SpreadShot ability when powered, it can pile on a huge amount of damage to grouped zombies.

* SpreadShot: When Powered, it will fire a spread of shots depending on where the zombies are on its lane and adjacent ones.

* BuriedAlive: What it does to zombies, dragging them back into the ground where they ought to belong.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite being a Shadow Plant and using a dark-based power, he's one of the good guys.

* OneHitKill: On most zombies.

* CompositeCharacter: Of Peashooter and Wall-nut.

* AntiAir: Kills airborne Zombies in his lane.

* CompositeCharacter: Looks like a mixture of Blover, Cabbage-pult and Iceberg Lettuce.
* {{Knockback}}: Part of his ability.

* OneHitKill: On flying zombies, but unlike Blover, he only does it on zombies on his lane. Can also be done in Pirate Seas with the plankless part of the field. If it blows a grounded Dodo Rider over an ice floe, it also kills.

* DontTryThisAtHome: At the end of her almanac entry, concerning playing with fire.

* OneHitKill: Her Plant Food ability kills anything short of a Gargantuar or Machined robot zombies.

* AngstNuke: He literally erupts in a fit of rage. A Zombie getting near him is enough to push him too far.

* JustEatHim: Subverted, she chews the zombie to death before swallowing it.

* OneHitKill: On most zombies that aren't Gargantuars or Far Future machines.

* PowerGlows: Whenever she's about to produce sun.

* SlasherSmile: When he's fully charged up.

* DidntSeeThatComing: It's mentioned in her almanac that she likes to make zombies think this.

* {{Nerf}}: Was given a massive one in the Neon Mixtape Tour Side B update, where it now almost always prioritizes the regular and special zombies before any Gargantuars, pretty much destroying its main selling point.
* OneHitKill: Much stronger than most instant-kill plants -- it even destroys ''Gargantuars'' in ''one'' hit. Even zombies protected by Glitter Zombie's rainbow are not safe -- as soon as their protection is gone, it will zap them. Against Pharaohs, it's a two-hit kill as the cloud will zap the sarcophagus, then it will immediately zap the Pharaoh. Ditto for the Jurassic Gargantuar, [[SuperToughness which has health so massive]] that it can ''survive'' the Blueberry's attack... and then the cloud gets zaps it ''again'' to finish it off.
* PersonalRaincloud: It gives the zombies one... that instantly fries them with a lightning bolt.

* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: With Chili Bean, Laser Bean, and Sun Bean.

* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: With Spring Bean, Laser Bean, and Sun Bean.

* TsurimeEyes

* KnockBack: Once it reaches level 5, it gains this alongside stalling zombies.

* UsefulNotes/{{Economics}}: She seems to be an expert in it, according to her almanac entry.

* LightningBruiser: He has a ''very high'' attack rate and Damage Per Second (enough to beat a Conehead) and can survive quite a bit of damage, but he can only attack a single zombie behind himself at a time.

* SelfDuplication: When given Plant Food.

* TsurimeEyes: All four of them.

[[folder:Spore-Shroom]]

Attacks zombies with lobbed spores. When it kills a zombie, another Spore-Shroom spawns on the square the zombie was on. Costs 150 sun and has a fast recharge. If given Plant Food, it shoots 3 giant spores at random zombies, dealing massive damage each hit.

* DeathFromAbove: His Plant Food ability is this.

* KnockBack: His attack has a chance of doing so. His Plant Food ability always causes this, unless he hits a [[ImmuneToFlinching Jurassic Bully]].

* OlderIsBetter: The Primal Peashooter is more powerful than it's modern version and has potential for KnockBack, at the expense of costing more sun.
* OneHitKill: If his KnockBack pushes a grounded zombie over a plankless lane in Pirate Seas.

* SplashDamage: Only when given Plant Food.

[[folder:Primal Wall-Nut]]

A wall that has a ''much'' faster recharge time than Wall-Nut, but costs more. Can also survive up to three Gargantuar smashes. Costs 75 Sun and has a fast recharge. If given Plant Food, he encases himself in a stone slab with a drawing of a Wall-Nut on it, giving him much better defense.

* OlderIsBetter: The Primal Wall-Nut isn't any more durable than it's modern counterpart against normal attacks, but it takes 67-75% reduced damage against most OneHitKill attacks like Gargantuar smashes and has far less recharge. It does cost 25 more sun than the modern version but that is small price to pay.
* RockBeatsLaser: When it comes to defending against Gargantuars, at least. Who would've thought that a primitive Wall-Nut can last much longer than the futuristic Infi-Nut against Gargantuar smashes?

* StoneWall: Much the same as Wall-Nut, and literally with Plant Food.

[[folder:Perfume-Shroom]]

* PerpetualSmiler: Just like her modern counterpart.
* PowerGlows: Whenever she's about to produce sun.

* OneHitKill: On most zombies. In fact, he's stronger than most instant kills, and at merely level 2 he can instantly destroy a Robo-Cone Zombie!
* SelfDuplication: If given Plant Food.

* MagicWand: One of her costumes gives her this, making her resemble a MagicalGirl.

[[folder:Shadow-Shroom]]
