Strategies
With
Despite having low stats, Chilly Pepper's ability to Freeze a zombie and the capability to attack zombies itself can help you if used correctly, as it gives you a chance to heavily cripple, and even destroy a zombie while it is completely vulnerable. A good zombie to activate its ability on is Tennis Champ or Mini-Ninja, as it makes them unable to hit you and let a plant, most likely itself, destroy them easily due to their pitiful health.
This plant is very helpful in conjunction with Snowdrop and Winter Squash, as it activates both their abilities instantly. However, Template:PvZHLink is a much cheaper alternative if you are playing it to only Freeze a zombie, so take this as an Iceberg Lettuce with an extra plant.
Rescue Radish is a good plant to use with this, as it allows you play this once more to Freeze another zombie.
Against
Due to the low amount of health it has at 1, the player should have no difficulties in defeating it with any damaging zombie card. If there is a zombie in a tight situation due to being frozen from Chilly Pepper's ability, simply heal it with Medic or play health-boosting tricks such as Vitamin Z to keep it alive for an extra turn for it to be defrosted.
As a Brainy hero, you can use Lurch for Lunch to negate the Freeze effect on a zombie, so that it does not need to skip its attack.
Do not Bounce this plant, as its relatively cheap cost will allow it to be easily played again, freezing another zombie again.
