Hunting Grounds is a triassic super-rare zombie environment card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the PvZH Beastly IconBeastly class. It costs 2BrainPvZH to play, and its ability gives all zombies in it the Hunt trait, and +1StrengthPvZH/+1HeartPvZH to any zombie when they move in or out of it, including when they are played in Hunting Grounds.

This ability persists until Hunting Grounds is overridden by another environment.

Origins[]

"Hunting grounds" is a term used to describe areas where hunting animals is legal.

T

Its description may be a partial reference to the dinosaur skeleton seen in it, which seems to resemble the T. rex in Plants vs. Zombies 2.

Strategies[]

With[]

Hunting Grounds is a useful and efficient environment. It prevents setup plants like Pea Pod or Sunflower from giving your opponent an advantage, or PvZH Anti-Hero IconAnti-Hero plants from wreaking havoc. And unlike zombies with the Hunt trait, you can use any zombie to do so in Hunting Grounds. Hunting Grounds also boosts your zombies when they are played and when they move out of it, allowing your zombies to destroy their target more easily.

Zombies who activate their ability by doing damage, destroying plants, or getting hurt, such as Kite Flyer, Gas Giant, and Overstuffed Zombie, Amphibious zombies, or zombies with the PvZH Deadly IconDeadly, Frenzy, or the PvZH Strikethrough IconStrikethrough traits are good with the Hunt trait, while zombies with low health, the PvZH Anti-Hero IconAnti-Hero or the PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye trait, or an ability that activates by hurting your opponent (unless they have Weird unused PvZH iconOvershoot) are poor choices to play in Hunting Grounds.

The downside of Hunting Grounds is that zombies get Hunt only when they are in it, meaning that zombies lose said trait once they leave the lane, so they can't keep tracking down plants nor move back into Hunting Grounds by themselves (without the aid of an ability like Energy Drink Zombie and Fraidy Cat's). This only gives zombies +2StrengthPvZH/+2HeartPvZH under normal circumstances.

Also, zombies having the Hunt trait means that they are more susceptible to damage. While that is compensated by the boost, Vitamin Z is better if you don't want them to have Hunt, such as if you want a non-PvZH Strikethrough IconStrikethrough zombie to hit your opponent. Still, Hunting Grounds can boost zombies indefinitely until overridden, so it is a good addition in the right deck.

All Beastly heroes can use this to activate Cat Lady and Zookeeper's abilities, but the environment is best with zombies that would benefit from the environment's ability itself. Immorticia synergizes with Hunting Grounds somewhat well, as she has access to Zom-Bats, Kite Flyer, and Duckstache. However, her PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye zombies won't like being played in Hunting Grounds. Same goes for Brain Freeze, who has access to moving cards like Smoke Bomb to move zombies back into Hunting Grounds, and PvZH Strikethrough IconStrikethrough zombies, but his PvZH Anti-Hero IconAnti-Hero zombies are better off being played somewhere else.

Playing Fire Rooster in Hunting Grounds and giving it PvZH Deadly IconDeadly will allow it to destroy any non-PvZH Armored IconArmored plant that is played afterwards, but this requires some setup beforehand. In addition, only Brain Freeze can do this normally. The Smash's PvZH Hearty IconHearty zombies don't necessarily benefit from Hunt, but they can at least block off some plants. And finally, Electric Boogaloo can use Hunting Grounds to force his zombies to get hurt or destroyed purposely to activate their respective abilities.

Having multiple Hunting Grounds at once can be beneficial, because if a zombie moves from one Hunting Grounds to another, not only will it still have the Hunt Trait, but it will gain two boosts (one from leaving the first Hunting Grounds and one from entering the second one).

Against[]

Hunting Grounds gives any zombie a good boost and the ability to track down and destroy plants, giving you a hard time when building your defenses. But the most dangerous feature of Hunting Grounds is that you can't set up, and have to go either full offense or defense. This makes it hard for frail plants that require setup, like Doubled Mint.

Since zombies played there get Hunt, one solution is to face the zombie directly and play a plant in Hunting Grounds, as the zombie won't be able to move out and get another +1StrengthPvZH/+1HeartPvZH. However, this means that you can play only one plant per turn, as the next one you play will move the zombie out of Hunting Grounds. A better strategy is to either protect your plants with Team-Up walls, Bounce the boosted zombies, or override the environment.
