With
Saucer Squash's stats aren't optimal for his cost, but ability stops Zombies from attacking during the Combat Phase. This could potentially destroy Zombies without them destroying vital Plants or activating their abilities (only if they are related to doing damage). Do note, however, that if they do survive Combat, they will proceed to do a Bonus Attack afterward, allowing the Zombies to initiate their part of the Combat Phase. This won't happen with Plants like Snow Pea or Winter-Melon, since they freeze Zombies they hurt, which nullifies their Bonus Attack. This Bonus Attack, if it does occur, can also activate Gargantuar Mime's ability (of course, only useful if you're using him as Timestein), allowing him to do a Bonus Attack, and Mr. Biggs and Rose can use Bonus Track Buckethead and Wing-Nut respectively to disable their Bonus Attack.

Saucer Squash's ability isn't always optimal. Going against strong Zombies that won't be destroyed only prolongs demise, and some Zombies (and opposing Plants) can hinder or take advantage of this ability. Plants and Zombies like Hibernating Beary and Goat can have increased strength when they perform their Bonus Attack, and Garlic can move the Plant that hurt it to the side, allowing it and a Plant or Zombie behind it to directly hurt you.

Against
Saucer Squash can be rather harmful to your strategies, since he can stop a Zombie to have him get destroyed by other Plants. You can circumvent his ability by playing cards to normally save your Zombies before the Combat Phase, i.e. Bonus Attacks or Freezing Tricks. Note that Zombies that are made from destroyed Zombies affected by this ability do not
