Shadow-peashooter: The new EA cash cow ?
You were afraid or annoyed of your opponent playing a Cauli spam strategy ? Well, beware of this plant, which will likely be premium, that may be the most powerful and broken plant ever released by ...

Same here. Spent 100 Gems and no Shadow Peashooter seed packets. It is a Special Plant so maybe that is why ?!
I have only been able to collect Shadow Peashooter seed packets as part of the 12 hour tracker (5 slots) and winning in BattleZ. I have not been able to see if the number has changed much from yesterday to today...
I agree with another post that 25 Gems for just 10 Shadow Peashooter seed packtes ( and 10 other Shadow seed packets) is too expensive. 10 Gems could be tempting to get over the hump to the next level though. :-)
Guys, don't waste any more of your gems. You won't get ANY seed packets for the Shadow Peashooter in the 'Seed Packets for 100 Gems' shop. If you tap the information tag at the top right of the Modern Day mini window, you'll see that only the regular plants are included. - Moonflower - Dusk Lobber - Shadow Shroom - Grimrose - Nightshade.
So far, Battles never gave me a single seed packet for this. Maybe because I stupidly burned off gems at the start buying them 10 packets at a time (didn't know there were other ways to get them). Ahah!
Now EA probably thinks I've got too many, so no need giving me any more in Battlez 🙂
All
For those of you who wish to 'buy' the new shady plant, you can only get it from the Shadow Peashooter Pinata and NOT the Morden Day Pinata.
This plant, if purchased this way would actualy be the most expensive plant to date!
The plant requires 250 seeds to unlock, we get 50 seeds given (as a bait?) by completing a quest so the remaining 200 seeds can be purchased. 25 gems guarantee you 10 seeds, thus 250 gemns for 100 and 500 gems for 200 seeds. We would get some seeds ‘free’ from various daily quests but you will need to spend them on level ups.
As this offer is for a limited time and EA is not likely to tell us when it will be back once it is ended, so my recommendation is if you have 500 gems spare, then buy this plants now and any seeds gained by completing quests can be used for leveling up.
Very good advice! Thank you for sharing this.
I did notice late last night and this morning that I only received one Shadow PeaShooter seed packet out of the 10 seed packets from the 5 Modern Day pinata tracker. And this morning I was starting fresh again (someone already has a Level 4 Shadow Peashooter and I was beat at Level 16) and my fourth victory was the Modern Day Pinata and none of the 30 seeds went to Shadow PeaShooter.
So maybe there is a throttle after the first day !!
Over 100 Shadow PeaShooter seeds already...including the quest completed.
Could be just random, couldalso be that EA is manipulating the probability to get some kind of seeds. and that there is no equal probability to get the plants seeds of one World.
I felt like that when I was trying to get seeds for Dusk Lobber or Blover (some plants very efficient in Battlez - when they are not banned), it did look that I got less than what I should expected.Kinda hard to draw a conclusion since we are biased on that and we are dealing small numbers 🤨
They've done two separate BAIT & SWITCH tactics this week.
Before, you ALWAYS were guaranteed seed packets you didn't want, simply because they would try to bait you into buying that dangling carrot each week. This was the norm.
Surprise! This week you NOT only do NOT get SP packets in your standard battle pinantas for that carrot (at least I never did). But you are NOT even guaranteed to get any from the SPECIAL Modern Day pinantas from Battlez. You MAY... but that's a big if.
So far, 160 Packets awarded to me from the SPECIAL Modern Day pinatas that we were told could earn what we needed. And I got 0... yup. Not a single one.
This has never been how it was BEFORE this week's bait & switch moves.
All one can do is laugh again. I had a FEELING EA was going to be up to its cash-cow tricks again.... 🙂

One warning. Do NOT... I repeat NOT spend your gems first on the 25-for-10 deal. Because if the rumors are true, once you accumulate a few packets, your chances of winning more get greatly diminished.
Do battlez FIRST... then do the guaranteed purchases after so you don't get hit by biased RNG.
