Strategies
With
This Gargantuar is a pretty average zombie for its brain cost. However, his ability of creating Swabbies when hurt can be used to block the attack of an Anti-Hero plant, a hard-hitting plant, or an Amphibious plant, or just land 1 free damage on the plant hero. This can easily fill all lanes with Swabbies, making Zombot's Wrath a very good combination with this zombie. Unlife of the Party also goes great with Imp-Throwing Gargantuar. Since this zombie is a Gargantuar zombie, Smashing Gargantuar and Wizard Gargantuar can give the Frenzy/Bullseye trait. Additionally, he is also a pirate zombie, so Impfinity can use this with Template:PvZHLink.
Because his ability only activates when he is hurt, you should try to keep the damage done to this zombie as low as possible. Healing and boosting the Imp-Throwing Gargantuar's health can also be a good idea, but only Z-Mech and Electric Boogaloo can do this.
Impfinity should use this with Toxic Waste Imp and against high-health plants, as the Deadly trait allows the Swabbies to kill plants with one hit, provided they don't have the Armored trait or are shielded.
Against
Against Imp-Throwing Gargantuar, the fewer number of attacks needed to destroy him, the better. A plant with 5 or more strength does the best against him. Any instant-kill card like Template:PvZHLink, Template:PvZHLink, Template:PvZHLink, or Winter Squash does not activate Imp-Throwing Gargantuar's ability, so it is useful as well. Transforming this zombie with Template:PvZHLink or Transmogrify is also an option, though not the best sometimes.

Plants vs. Zombies Wiki has a gallery for Imp-Throwing Gargantuar.
He is one of the four zombies that can directly make other zombies that are not from his class, the other three being Portal Technician, Template:PvZHLink, and Template:PvZHLink.
However, if tricks and superpowers are counted as well, Gargantuars' Feast and Summoning can also make zombies outside of their respective classes.
Unlike his Plants vs. Zombies 2 counterpart, he actually throws the Imps, rather than them being shot out of the cannon strapped on his back.
Through Swabbies, this is the only way to get an Amphibious card through a class that cannot normally use Amphibious cards.
Even though the Template:PvZH Link on his back is now redesigned to a Swabbie, the card still has a regular Imp.
The description of this card's ability used to say "When hurt: Make a 1/1 Swabbie with Amphibious", without mentioning random lanes, even though in the game, the Imp-Throwing Gargantuar throws Swabbies in random lanes.
This was fixed in an update, as the description of Imp-Throwing Gargantuar's ability now mentions that he makes Swabbies in random lanes.
He is the first Gargantuar zombie in the Crazy class, the second being Hippity Hop Gargantuar.
In the tutorial, Template:PvZHLink can use him despite not being a Crazy hero.
