Compared to Fire Peashooter, except Zapricot has 1 more strength, costs 1 more sun, and is in the Kabloom class. However, unlike Fire Peashooter, it completely lacks tribe synergy. Thus, Fire Peashooter is a better choice if you are planning to run a pea deck as Captain Combustible.
Against[]
Zapricot hits very hard, destroying or badly damaging any zombie that can come on turn 3. Fortunately though, it does not have much health. You can sacrifice a weak zombie or use a cheap trick like Bungee Plumber to destroy it easily. You could play Rocket Science on it, but this is not recommended unless it threatens you a lot as there will most likely be better plants to play it on.
It has an unused ability animation where it becomes red, moves around and electricity zaps around it. This was most likely made when it had an ability, before deciding to not give it one. This is only able to be seen with hacking.
