PPDat is not without consequences:

| Issue | Description | |-------|-------------| | Memory overload | Planting 200+ projectiles (e.g., Lv. 20 Threepeater + Torchwood) will crash the game on older devices. | | Save corruption | Incorrect PPDat editing (e.g., setting Mastery > 200) results in infinite load screens. | | Arena bans | Using a max-level save in ranked modes triggers PopCap’s server checks. Your profile may be flagged. | | Missing plants | Some plants (e.g., Season Arena exclusives like Rhubarbarian) may not exist in older PPDat databases. |

Iceberg Lettuce (Lv. 20): Freezes a zombie for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 5 seconds. You can freeze an entire wave indefinitely.

Power Lily (Lv. 20): Produces Plant Food every 10 seconds. Imitater copies it. With two Power Lilies + Imitater, you generate infinite Plant Food. Every plant becomes a spammable special attack.

Even without max levels, having every plant changes the game. You get:

When you combine all plants + max level, the game becomes a sandbox of ridiculous strategies.
