Squash is a boss in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. It appears on the "Stop the Squash" objective in Graveyard Ops. It acts like the plant version of the Zombomb. Once it reaches the Tombstone, it will jump and squash next to it, taking away a chunk of the tombstone's health, depending on the difficulty.

It also appears in the "Protect the Squash" objective in Garden Ops, where the player has to defend it until the end of the wave, resulting in coins earned from Squash when it explodes. In the Backyard Battleground, it appears in the sewers when the player has to find and recruit Toxic Brainz in the said area in the "League of Awesome" Super Duper Brainz mission. It also shows up in Infinity time, after wave 25 while on zombies. If the player gets close to the Squash, it will squash the player, instantly vanquishing them. Its attack is named Squash.

In Battle for Neighborville, it appears as a mini-boss during the story quest "Becoming One With The Dumb." The player must vanquish it before it squashes the stack of Dummies. Its appearance resembles his appearance in Plants vs. Zombies 2.

Strategies

In Graveyard Ops, Squash attempts to smash up to a quarter of your tombstone health. Like the Zombomb, you must attack it to complete an objective mission. It can knock you back so powerful mid-range and long range fighters are ideal.

As Foot Soldier

Fire everything you got, especially ZPG or Multi-Rocket.

As Engineer

The Big Bolt Blaster or the Bedazzled Bolt Blaster is a good choice when you are far from it, but take care of the Weeds while you are at it.

As Scientist

You can use the Zombie Heal Station + Sticky Explody Ball technique.

As All-Star

Using the Imp Punt or the Long Bomb is the best choice. Do not get too close to it, or you will be launched away. Keep firing your Football Cannon, but let go of the trigger before it overheats and wait for about a second before firing again.

As Imp

Become a Z-Mech so you're more powerful. While Imp has Impkata, Z-Mech has Missile Madness, which does much more damage. Missile Madness and Robo Stomp will help remove the Squash health.

As Super Brainz

If many enemies are crowding the Squash, use Super Ultra Ball to hit them all at once. Otherwise, just keep on firing.

As Captain Deadbeard

The Parrot Pal is recommended, so you can shoot at it from a secure distance. Using the Barrel Blast and the Cannon Rodeo if it gets dangerous.

In Garden Ops, Squash needs to be protected until the wave ends, it is recommended to follow and stay near it for better protection however, snipers could be useful too.

• For whatever reason, even if Squash destroys itself via its Squash attack in Battle for Neighborville, the player will still get XP for vanquishing them.
