Strategies

There are several ways to prevent Pogo Zombies from hopping over your plants or to defeat them before they get too close:

• Tall-nuts block them, forcing them to ditch their Pogo Sticks.
• Magnet-shrooms removes their Pogo Sticks.
• Squash,Split Pea, Starfruit, Chomper (occasionally), and Gloom-shroom all have attacks that can hit Pogo Zombies from behind or are able to at times eliminate them before they could even hop.
  • Note that Kernel-pult's butter only does its usual damage and lacks the stun ability.

Pogo Party mini-game

Pogo Party is a mini-game set on the Roof prominently featuring Pogo Zombies at a fast pace. Clever use of certain plants are necessary to defend against huge swarms of them.

Trivia

• He is one of the four zombies (along with Dr. Zomboss, Zomboni, and Balloon Zombie) that is immune to any kind of immobilization including Ice-shroom and butter. This only applies if he still has his pogo stick.
• Like Balloon Zombie when midair, he cannot be frozen by Ice-shrooms while he has his pogo stick, but can be slowed down. He can also be slowed down by Winter Melons and Snow Peas.
• He is the only vaulting zombie that can jump over plants more than once and will continue on (unless he hits a Tall-nut or his pogo stick gets stolen by a Magnet-shroom).
• He is one of seven zombies to have a mini-game exclusively about them, as he is featured in Pogo Party, with the other six being Dr. Zomboss in Dr. Zomboss's Revenge, Zombie Bobsled Team and Zomboni in Bobsled Bonanza, Snorkel Zombie in Zombiquarium, Bungee Zombie in Bungee Blitz, and Balloon Zombie in Air Raid.
• Before Pogo Zombie enters the screen, the player can hear the sound of his pogo stick. This sound will continue after Pogo Zombie enters the player's house, except in Roof and Night Roof levels.
  • He is one of the few zombies that make a sound before making an entrance. The others are Digger Zombie, which makes a digging sound, Dolphin Rider Zombie, which is the sound of its dolphin, Balloon Zombie, which is the sound of his balloon inflating, and Zomboni, which is the sounds of its engine.
• He's the only zombie in the game that has ears.
• When a Pogo Zombie is slowed down, his bouncing rate will still be the same, but his speed will become slower, and he also has to bounce two times to jump over a plant when he is frozen. However, for a Cob Cannon, he will have to jump four times due to the larger size.
• If timed correctly, on the roof's slope, Pogo Zombie might have a chance to jump over a Squash and escape without being squashed.
• Pogo Zombie will lose his pogo stick upon climbing a ladder placed on a Tall-nut.
• If a Pogo Zombie gets hit by a catapult plant on the Nintendo DS version of Plants vs. Zombies and he still has his pogo stick, he may get hit at the bottom of the pogo stick instead of his head.
• The pogo stick is the only vaulting equipment that can be damaged by projectile plants.
• Spikeweeds and Spikerocks will damage Pogo Zombies while they are still on their pogo sticks, unless the plant is inside a Pumpkin.
• He cannot be blown away by a Blover when in midair.
• His Almanac entry is a reference to one of the quotes of the character Tigger from Winnie the Pooh.
• Pogo Zombie shares the same walking, eating and dying animations from a basic zombie, this makes him the only non-basic zombie to have animations of a basic zombie.
• Through hacking, one can find an unused seed packet for Pogo Zombie, meant for I, Zombie levels. If you place this zombie in an I, Zombie level, it will act like normal, but will skip over the brain at the end if it still has its pogo stick.
• According to the game's artist, Rich Werner, its design is based off of an employee who worked at PopCap while the game was in development.

Specific to Seahorse Pogo Zombie

• His seahorse will jump away as if escaping when the zombie crashes onto a Tall-nut or is defeated.
