It's not completely useless, since it retains the 1 normal damage shot, if I'm reading things right. Of course, that makes it a Peashooter that is only effective against machinery, which is why something like the Melon-pult, Winter Melon, or even the Fume-shroom or Snapdragon, or the Spikeweed/Spikerock makes it extremely powerful.

As I have stated before, if a plant needs other plants to be highly effective, the plant itself isn't overpowered.

It's sort of like cake ingredients. While edible alone, they aren't very tasty (you wouldn't want to eat flour, eggs, and cooking oil alone), but when mixed properly, they're incredible. It's sort of like PvZ2 and the Bonk Choy - it's relatively useful alone, but with a good strategy and support from other plants, it's a force to be reckoned with. I typically have it behind a defensive plant (typically the Tall-nut) with a Spikerock in front of the defensive plant and an Area-of-Effect plant behind it, often a Melon-pult or Winter Melon, although the Fume-shroom pops up a lot more lately.
