- For the version in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, see Guacodile.
Guacodile is the fourth plant obtained in Big Wave Beach in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He fires avocado pits at zombies every 1.75 - 1.85 seconds, dealing 20 damage. When attacked, he’ll do a rushing attack that hits zombies for 150 damage every few dozens of frames or so, and then despawn. He’s amphibious, but cannot fire in water.
He’ll rush immediately under the following conditions:
- When he’s pulled by a Fisherman Zombie.
- About to get abducted by a Zombie Parrot.
- Pushed directly or indirectly by a Mecha-Football Zombie, a Punk Zombie during its Punk jam or an ankylosaurus.
- Attacked by a reflected projectile from a Jester Zombie.
- Hit by a Sun Bomb explosion, or a Gargantuar Prime's or a Turquoise Skull Zombie's lasers.
- Hit by a MC Zom-B's microphone spin.
- Hit by a Hair Metal Gargantuar's sonic blast.
- Hit by the Zombot Dark Dragon's fire breathing attack or its fireballs that it spits out (only on Modern Day - Day 33).
- Sucked in by Zombot Sharktronic Sub's mouth turbine or about to be eaten by one of its sharks.
- About to be crushed by a frozen block pushed by a Troglobite, an Arcade machine pushed by an Arcade Zombie, or a statue pushed by a Zombie Medusa.
- Hit by a missile.
Origins[]
Guacodile is based on the avocado (Persea americana), also known as the "alligator pear"; and the crocodile, a large aquatic reptile famed for its strong jaws and feeding behavior.
His name is a portmanteau of "guacamole", a type of dip made with avocados; and crocodile, the animal he is based on.
His costume, a black bowl filled with salsa containing a nacho chip, is also a reference to guacamole, as both it and salsa are types of dip typically used with nachos.

Guacodile |
Guacodiles [sic] is an amphibious plant that fire seeds from a distance. When attacked they will rush off the lawn biting any zombies they encounter. Ask Guacodile to tell you a little bit about himself and he'll give you a wry smile. "I'm a Guacodile. I've got a bite like a bear trap. I spit rock-hard pits with a force, speed and accuracy envied by every plant on the battlefield. Heck, I've been known to walk on water. I'm pretty much the whole enchilada." Yeah, the guy is a bit of a braggart but he's good at what he does. |
Chinese version (China only)[]
鳄梨可以远距离发射种子。当受到攻击时,他们会直线向前冲咬所有遇到的僵尸。
用途:冲刺攻击后消失 问起鳄梨自己的事情,他就会呵呵道:“我曾经被类似熊夹子的陷阱夹过。我总是能吐射出令全场植物妒忌的强力精准,岩石般坚硬的子弹。呵呵,人们说我能在水上漂。我非常喜欢墨西哥辣味卷。”没错,这家伙是有点点飘飘然不过他知道自己在做什么。 Usage: disappears after rushing attack |
Upgrades[]
Plant Food effect[]
When given Plant Food, he’ll knock zombies near it back and spawn two smaller copies of himself which will rush down the lane and damage zombies.
Enforce-mint effect[]
When boosted by Enforce-mint, Guacodile does an additional 110 damage with its seeds, and an additional 300 damage per tick when rushing.

Strategies[]
General[]
Because Guacodile can chomp zombies upon getting close, he’s useful in creating a last ditch line of defense against zombies that have broken through the player's defense. He can also work as an instant plant if planted immediately next to the horde, and this strategy is further augmented by his fast recharge rate. However, Guacodile is not a powerful plant by himself , as his seeds only deal as much damage as a Peashooter, and his chomp attack is incapable of killing a Conehead Zombie instantly under normal conditions.
Slowdown plants such as Sap-fling and Stallia can assist Guacodile in dealing more damage with ihis chomp. Because Guacodile does not chomp a zombie once, but rather multiple times as he moves through, a slowed zombie would take more damage from its chomp attack compared to a normal one. Sweet Potato, Hot Date, and Garlic can also divert zombies to a single lane, allowing Guacodile's chomp attack to hurt a lot more enemies at once. With good timing, Hurrikale can also be used to deal great damage through its chomp attack.
Do not use Guacodiles on Excavator Zombies as they will get thrown back before they can perform their rush attack. Another zombie to not use him against is Explorer Zombie or Torchlight Zombie, since they can torch him before he dashes. The All-Star Zombie is a similar case, as while he is charging, he can trigger Guacodile's rushing attack without stopping or taking damage. Fortunately, they are still vulnerable if you choose to activate Guacodile a little further ahead, as a sprining Guacodile is invulnerable.
Guacodile is great against many zombies in Neon Mixtape Tour because many of the zombies are weak enough for a Guacodile to easily destroy using its rush attack. Along with its fast recharge rate, he’ll be able to destroy many big threats such as Arcade Zombie or even lone Gargantuars, provided you have an adequate sun supply. The only zombie to watch out is Boombox Zombie as he will stun Guacodile in his position.
Guacodile is also a poor choice in Pirate Seas levels without planks as when it performs its rush attack, he’ll end up falling in the ocean and are unable to target dangerous threats (such as the Imp Cannon). Conversely, he does rather well in lanes with planks, as his rushing attack can be used to hit Barrel Roller Zombies and Imp Cannons behind others.
He can shoot pits while submerged if there is an octopus binding an aquatic plant (excluding Lily Pad). Although, if he’s planted without a Lily Pad past the tideline and is attacking something when the tide washes in, he’ll continue shooting pits, despite the fact that he’s in water.
The zombies that are knocked back from Guacodile's Plant Food are counted as airborne, allowing Blover or Hurrikale to blow them off the screen and kill them instantly.
Gluttonous Hungry Guacodile (China only)[]
In this Chinese Brain Buster, the player must control a series of Guacodiles to eat all the zombies across the screen. They cannot hit a surfboard, run into themselves or exit the lawn as it will cause the player to lose the level.

Trivia[]
- The Guacodile in the Almanac entry picture and seed selection screen is floating above water, but in-game, he’s submerged in the water.
- In update 7.5.1, planting it on a Barrel Roller Zombie would crash the game. This also would happen when using Plant Food on ice blocks and arcade machines. This was fixed in update 7.6.1.
- He and Infi-nut are the only non-single-use plants that can survive Turquoise Skull Zombie's laser attack, as he activates his rush attack instead of being incinerated.
- He rushes at the same speed as a lawn mower.
- Prior to a certain update, Guacodile's rushing attack did not count as losing a plant despite him despawning.
- Guacodile is one of the nine plants that have a food-related costume, the others being Spring Bean (if you count the coconuts), Citron, Hot Potato, Buttercup, Gold Leaf, Fire Peashooter, Snapdragon, and Cold Snapdragon.
