Strategies
With
There is nothing really remarkable about Pismashio. While it is a basic plant with above-average stats, other 2-sun Guardian plants like Cactus, Sea-Shroom, Water Chestnut, and Jugger-Nut can outclass it in a lot of situations. Nonetheless, it is a fairly reliable and balanced plant, and any strategies and counters with nuts apply to it as well.
Against
While this isn't a dangerous plant in any way, it can give you some trouble on turn 2 because no 2-brain zombie can destroy Pismashio and survive a hit from it at the same time unless its ice pirate using her ability. Tricks like Electrobolt, Stayin' Alive, Slammin' Smackdown, and Rolling Stone are good counters to it, although playing a superpower on Pismashio is a waste. If your opponent chooses to boost it, Squirrel Herder can always take care of it.

Trivia
- There is an animation/layering error where one of Pismashio's eyes go behind the upper shell.
- This is due to the animator layering the rigged parts of the character in one of its animation sequences incorrectly.
- It heavily resembles Pistachio, a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.
- It makes the same sound as Cabbage-Pult when attacking.
- When it attacks, the pistachio it fires from its shell shrinks.
