Costumes

For the version in Plants vs. Zombies Online, see Costumes (PvZO). For costumes found in the code, but have yet to appear in the game, see Plants vs. Zombies 2/Concepts/Costumes.

Costumes are cosmetics that the player can earn in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Every plant has a costume, except for Imitater (international version only), Marigold, all Power Mints, Dazey Chain (international version only), all vine plants, Ultomato (international version only), Tumbleweed, Murkadamia Nut, Levitater, Tomb Tangler, Vamporcini (international version only), Meteor Flower (international version only), Chilly Pepper, Bun Chi (international only), Bzzz Button, BoomBerry, MayBee (international only), SeaFlora, Scaredy-shroom, Bamboo Spartan (international only), Sundew Tangler, Bean Sprout, Cran Jelly, Bud'uh Boom, Ice-shroom, Dragon Bruit (international only), Electric Peel (international only), Sea-shroom, Guard-shroom, Mangofier and Blast Spinner.

In the Chinese version, costumes are used to boost Plant Food effects. To Cherry Bomb, Loquat and Grapeshot, they are used to enhance them as they do not have Plant Food effects.

A costume changer can be used to set whether the plant would wear its costume or not. It can also change the costumes of the plants if more than one costume has just obtained. Peashooter, Sunflower and Wall-nut have limited-time costumes that can be worn without changing it. However, it is now obtainable since 8.7.1. Depending on the costume, costumes can be obtained in piñatas, Señor Piñata, Mystery Gift Boxes, or purchasing them with gems or coins in the store.

Trivia

• If the player exits a level with a plant without a costume planted in that level and gets the plant a costume, the original plants do not have costumes but all newly-planted one will.
• In the Chinese version, during the 1.1 update, costumes were the first time award for completing Gargantuar Crisis and Evil Danger Daily Challenges.
• Starting from the 2.9 update, with the exception of Peashooter, Sunflower and Wall-nut, plants that have costumes will have their portrait in their Almanac entry and the seed selection screen covered with what appears to be glass.
  • As of the 4.6 update, all Almanac portraits are covered with this glass substance, regardless if it is a plant or zombie. It was removed in the 5.7 update.
• The costume shop gives the costumes names and descriptions.
• In the international version, Ghost Pepper's costume was unobtainable up until 4.1 update.
• Due to a programming error, Sunflower, Peashooter and Wall-nut's limited time costumes for 2016 Lawn of Doom event and Plants vs. Zombies Heroes event didn't appear in the game, leaving them unused.
• The player can sometimes obtain costumes for plants they do not own.
