Commentary:
Shadow plants have great synergy between them and Shadow Peashooter adds nicely to this synergy. We have found that a column of Shadow Peashooters on column 1. Some may argue that column 3 is a better location as thrown imps from Gargantuars would be swallowed up and thus be neutralized. While this is indeed true, Shadow Peashooter has a tendency to hide whenever a zombie get close and when this plant is hiding, it is not attacking any zombies. Shadow Peashooter has a touch of scaredy-cat in him so even a zombie on column 4 in a lane above or below will cause this plant to hide. Not exactly good when you want to eliminate zombies.

Bottom Line:
If you do not have this plant, you really should obtain it. As you can see from these walk-throughs, this is a nice plant. When Dusk Lobber or Dragon Bruit get added to the lawn, one can see the devastation this can bring to the horde.
