I’ve spent countless hours testing this Limited rarity plant, and I’m here to give you the complete breakdown of everything you need to know about this quirky chef-themed defender.

The Cannonocci has taken the Plants Vs Brainrots community by storm since the Plant Pantry Event dropped on November 15, 2026. As someone who’s been playing since day one and has completed the entire event, I can tell you this plant is unlike anything we’ve seen before in the game. But is it actually good?

In this ultimate guide, I’ll walk you through everything about the Cannonocci – from its exact stats and damage output to the best strategies for unlocking it quickly. Whether you’re a beginner just starting the Plant Pantry Event or a veteran player looking to optimize your garden, this comprehensive guide has got you covered.

What Does the Cannonocci Actually Do?

Let me start with the most important question: what makes the Cannonocci special in Plants Vs Brainrots?

The Cannonocci is a Limited rarity offensive plant that deals a solid 3,300 DPS with a 1.5x damage multiplier. This positions it as a mid-to-high tier damage dealer in your defensive lineup. However, what really sets this plant apart – and what you absolutely need to know before committing to it – is its unique attack pattern.

The Good: Impressive Damage Output

From my extensive testing, the Cannonocci’s 3.3k DPS is nothing to scoff at. This damage output places it above many legendary and mythic plants, making it capable of taking down tougher brainrots that would overwhelm your basic defenders. When I first planted mine in my garden, I immediately noticed how it could shred through mid-tier brainrot waves that my other plants struggled with.

The 1.5x multiplier means that under optimal conditions with mutations and proper plant positioning, you can push this plant’s effectiveness even higher. If you manage to get a Neon or Frozen mutation on your Cannonocci, we’re talking about serious damage potential that can rival some godly-tier plants.

The Bad: Slowest Attack Speed in the Game

Here’s where things get interesting – and potentially problematic. The Cannonocci has the longest attack interval of any plant in Plants Vs Brainrots at 5 full seconds. This is crucial information that many guides gloss over, but it completely changes how you should think about using this plant.

In my experience, those 5 seconds between attacks feel like an eternity when you’re facing rapid waves of brainrots. While each individual hit packs a punch, the slow attack speed means you’re dealing less total damage over time compared to faster-attacking plants with similar DPS ratings. I learned this the hard way when trying to use Cannonocci as my primary defender – it simply couldn’t keep up with the spawn rate of higher-wave brainrots.

The Verdict: Situational Powerhouse

After weeks of testing, here’s my honest take: the Cannonocci excels as a specialized heavy-hitter rather than a primary defender. It’s perfect for:

  • Taking down tanky, high-HP brainrots that your rapid-fire plants struggle with
  • Providing burst damage when paired with crowd control plants
  • Adding variety to your garden for players who love collecting Limited plants
  • Boss battles where individual hit damage matters more than attack speed

However, I wouldn’t recommend it as your main defensive plant, especially if you’re still working through early or mid-game content. The 5-second attack interval is simply too slow for efficient wave clearing.

How to Get the Cannonocci: Complete Plant Pantry Event Guide

Now that you understand what the Cannonocci does, let’s talk about how to actually get your hands on this exclusive plant. The only legitimate way to obtain it is through the Plant Pantry Event, which is running from November 15 to November 22, 2026 – so time is of the essence!

Step 1: Unlock Central Island Access

Before you can even start the Plant Pantry Event, you need to meet these prerequisites:

  • Reach Rebirth 1: You must complete your first rebirth in Plants Vs Brainrots
  • Pay ₵1,000,000 Cash: This is the entry fee to access Central Island
  • Have inventory space: Make sure you have room to store plants

If you’re still working toward Rebirth 1, I highly recommend checking out my complete beginner’s guide which covers the fastest progression strategies. Trust me, reaching Rebirth 1 faster than you think is possible with the right approach.

Step 2: Meet Chef Chubbeloni and Understand the Event Mechanics

Once you’ve accessed Central Island, head to the center area where you’ll find the new NPC, Chef Chubbeloni. This friendly chef character is your key to unlocking the Cannonocci, but he’s not going to just hand it over.

Here’s how the Plant Pantry Event works:

  1. Chef Chubbeloni requests random plants every 60 seconds
  2. Each plant you submit fills a progress bar
  3. Rarer plants contribute more progress
  4. You need to reach 100% completion (22 total submissions)
  5. Different rewards unlock at specific milestones

The genius – and challenge – of this system is that everyone gets different random requests. Your friend might be asked for a common Strawberry while you’re being asked for a rare Grape. This randomization means you can’t simply follow a fixed guide; you need to adapt to what the Chef requests.

Step 3: Prepare Your Plant Collection

This is where preparation makes all the difference. Based on my experience completing the event multiple times, here’s my proven strategy:

Buy Seeds in Advance: Stock up on seeds for every plant type available in the shop. I spent about $50 million pre-buying seeds before starting the event, and it saved me hours of waiting. Focus especially on:

  • Common plants: Cactus, Strawberry, Pumpkin, Sunflower
  • Uncommon plants: Eggplant, Dragon Fruit
  • Rare plants: Watermelon, Grape
  • Special plants: Any event-exclusive plants you already own

Plant Everything: Fill your garden slots with mid-tier plants like Eggplants, Pumpkins, and Watermelons. These provide good progress value without being so rare that you’ll regret submitting them. I kept about 10-15 plants growing at all times during the event.

Use the Skip Strategy: If Chef Chubbeloni requests an ultra-rare plant you don’t have or don’t want to sacrifice, simply wait 60 seconds for the request to refresh. I used this strategy constantly, especially when asked for my godly-tier plants. There’s no penalty for waiting!

Step 4: Speed Up Growth with Water Buckets

Here’s a pro tip that saved me countless hours: invest in Water Buckets from the gear shop. These items dramatically speed up plant growth, turning a 30-minute wait into just a few minutes.

During the event, I purchased about 20 Premium Water Buckets (they’re available as rewards during the event itself). Every time I planted a seed for a requested plant, I immediately used a Water Bucket. This allowed me to complete the entire event in about 6-8 hours of active gameplay rather than the 20+ hours it would take without speed boosts.

The Premium Water Buckets are especially valuable because they provide the biggest growth speed increase. Yes, they cost more than regular Water Buckets, but when you’re racing against the November 22 deadline, the investment is absolutely worth it.

Step 5: Complete All 22 Submissions

As you submit plants to Chef Chubbeloni, you’ll receive incremental rewards along the way. Here’s the complete reward progression:

Plant Pantry Event Rewards:

  1. Money
  2. Money
  3. Alessio + Frost Grenade
  4. Money + Witch Potion
  5. Money + Premium Water Bucket
  6. Size Potion
  7. Money + Burbaloni Luliloli
  8. Money + Sunflower Seed
  9. Money + Dragonfruit Seed + Elephanto Cocofanto
  10. Money + XP Vial
  11. Bandito Bobrito + Frost Grenade
  12. Rinoccio Verdini + Eggplant Seed
  13. Dragonfruit Seed + Eggplant Seed
  14. Money + EXP Bottle
  15. Carrot Launcher (Important milestone!)
  16. Money
  17. Size Potion + Fridgo Camelo
  18. Card Pack + Speed Potion
  19. Money
  20. Money + EXP Vial
  21. Grape Seed
  22. Size Potion + Cannonocci Seed + Chef Chubbeloni (Grand Prize!)

The final reward at submission #22 is your ultimate goal: the Cannonocci Seed, a Size Potion, and the exclusive Chef Chubbeloni brainrot. From my experience, the journey from submission 20 to 22 feels the longest because you’re so close to the prize!

Step 6: Plant and Grow Your Cannonocci

Congratulations! Once you receive the Cannonocci Seed, you’re not quite done yet. You need to:

  1. Return to your garden
  2. Plant the Cannonocci Seed in an available slot
  3. Wait 30 minutes for it to fully grow (or use Water Buckets to speed it up!)
  4. Harvest your new Limited plant

I strongly recommend using Water Buckets for this final growth phase too. After spending hours completing the event, waiting another 30 minutes felt painful, so I immediately used a Water Bucket to get my Cannonocci instantly.

Advanced Strategies for Using the Cannonocci

Now that you’ve unlocked your Cannonocci, let’s talk about how to actually use it effectively in your garden defense strategy.

Best Plant Combinations with Cannonocci

The Cannonocci’s slow attack speed means it needs support. Here are my favorite combinations:

Cannonocci + Fast Attackers: Pair your Cannonocci with rapid-fire plants like Mr. Carrot or Tomatrio. The fast attackers handle the numerous weak brainrots while Cannonocci delivers finishing blows to tougher enemies.

Cannonocci + Crowd Control: Plants with slowing or freezing effects complement the Cannonocci perfectly. When brainrots are slowed down, the 5-second attack interval becomes less of a liability since enemies aren’t rushing past as quickly.

Cannonocci + Area Damage: Combining the Cannonocci with plants that deal splash damage creates a layered defense where area attacks soften up groups while Cannonocci picks off survivors.

Mutation Priority for Cannonocci

If you’re lucky enough to get mutations on your Cannonocci, here’s my priority ranking:

  1. Frozen Mutation (4x damage + freeze): Absolutely game-changing! The freeze effect compensates for the slow attack speed
  2. Neon Mutation (4.5x damage): Pure damage boost that makes each 5-second attack devastatingly powerful
  3. Diamond Mutation (3x damage): Solid upgrade that’s more common than Neon
  4. Gold Mutation (2x damage): Still worth it for the extra punch

During Admin Abuse events, the chances of getting rare mutations increase significantly. I recommend positioning your Cannonocci near the spawn area during these events to maximize mutation opportunities.

When NOT to Use Cannonocci?

Let me be brutally honest: there are situations where the Cannonocci simply isn’t the right choice.

Skip it for:

  • Early wave farming (you need faster attacks)
  • Solo defending small gardens (attack speed too slow)
  • Situations where you need rapid DPS
  • Budget-conscious players (Limited plants are expensive to replace)

Use it for:

  • Boss battles
  • Tank-heavy brainrot waves
  • Showing off your Limited collection
  • Mixed defensive lineups where you have fast attackers covering
  • Late-game content where damage per hit matters more

Farming the Cannonocci: Is It Worth Restarting the Event?

Here’s a question I get asked constantly: should you restart the Plant Pantry Event after completing it to farm multiple Cannonocci plants?

The event can be restarted for $100,000,000 (that’s 100 million, not a typo!), and you’ll go through the entire 22-submission process again to earn another Cannonocci Seed, Size Potion, and Chef Chubbeloni.

My Honest Opinion:

YES, restart if:

  • You’re a completionist who wants multiple Limited plants
  • You have excess cash (hundreds of millions)
  • You want to trade Cannonocci for other rare plants
  • You’re targeting specific mutations and want multiple chances

NO, skip it if:

  • You’re still building your basic plant collection
  • $100M would significantly impact your progression
  • You’re happy with one Cannonocci
  • You’d rather invest in other plants from the shop

Personally, I restarted once because I wanted a backup Cannonocci to experiment with, but I wouldn’t recommend doing it more than twice unless you’re swimming in cash. The $100M investment could buy you several powerful plants that might serve you better than duplicate Cannonoccis.

Trading for Cannonocci: What You Need to Know?

Theoretically, you can obtain a Cannonocci through trading with another player instead of completing the Plant Pantry Event yourself. However, I need to set realistic expectations here.

Trading Reality Check:

The Cannonocci is a Limited rarity plant that’s only available during a 7-day event window (November 15-22, 2026). This makes it incredibly rare and valuable. From my observations in the community and trading Discord servers, here’s what I’ve learned:

Typical Trade Requirements:

  • Multiple godly-tier plants
  • Secret rarity plants with good mutations
  • Massive cash offers ($500M+)
  • Combination of rare plants + cash

Most players who complete the Plant Pantry Event want to keep their Cannonocci rather than trade it. The few who are willing to trade typically demand premium prices that exceed what you’d spend completing the event yourself.

My Recommendation: Unless you’re absolutely unable to reach Rebirth 1 or access Central Island before November 22, I strongly recommend completing the event yourself rather than trading. You’ll get the satisfaction of earning it, save potentially hundreds of millions in trade costs, and receive all the other valuable Plant Pantry rewards along the way.

If you’re serious about trading, check out the official Plants Vs Brainrots Discord server where most high-value trades happen. Just be prepared for steep asking prices!

Common Mistakes Players Make with the Plant Pantry Event

After helping dozens of friends and community members complete the Plant Pantry Event, I’ve noticed some common mistakes that waste time and resources. Learn from these errors!

Mistake #1: Not Buying Seeds in Advance The biggest time-waster I see is players waiting for specific plant requests without having seeds ready. You’ll spend hours just waiting for plants to grow. Stock up beforehand!

Mistake #2: Submitting Ultra-Rare Plants Too Early Don’t submit your godly or secret-tier plants in the first few submissions! The progress bar fills gradually, and you want to save your most valuable plants for when waiting 60 seconds for a refresh becomes less appealing. I made this mistake on my first run and regretted sacrificing a Mango plant early on.

Mistake #3: Forgetting Water Buckets Exist I cannot emphasize this enough: Water Buckets are your best friends during this event. Players who don’t use them spend 3-4x longer completing the event. The game literally gives you Premium Water Buckets as rewards during the event – use them!

Mistake #4: Starting the Event Without Enough Cash Make sure you have at least $100-200 million in cash reserves before starting. You’ll need to buy seeds, Water Buckets, and potentially expand your garden slots. Running out of cash mid-event is frustrating.

Mistake #5: Playing Solo Without Community Resources The Plants Vs Brainrots community is incredibly helpful! Join the Discord, ask questions, and learn from others’ experiences. People share real-time updates on which plants are being requested frequently, making your preparation more efficient.

Mistake #6: Missing the Event Deadline I cannot stress this enough: the Plant Pantry Event ends on November 22, 2026. After this date, you CANNOT obtain the Cannonocci Seed through any legitimate means except trading (which will be extremely expensive). Don’t procrastinate!

The Cannonocci vs. Other Top-Tier Plants: Honest Comparison

Let’s be real: you’re probably wondering how the Cannonocci stacks up against other high-tier plants in your collection. Based on my extensive testing and analysis, here’s my honest comparison:

Cannonocci vs. Mr. Carrot

Winner: Mr. Carrot

Mr. Carrot deals 3,500 base damage with a faster attack speed than Cannonocci. While both are Limited/Secret tier, Mr. Carrot’s superior attack interval makes it more effective in most situations. However, Cannonocci is easier to obtain through the event system compared to Mr. Carrot’s random spawn mechanics.

Cannonocci vs. Tomatrio

Winner: Tomatrio

Tomatrio’s 4,500 base damage combined with reasonable attack speed makes it a better investment for most players. However, Tomatrio costs $125 million from the shop, while Cannonocci is technically “free” if you complete the Plant Pantry Event.

Cannonocci vs. Carnivorous Plant

Winner: Situational

The Carnivorous Plant ($25M) deals 2,200 base damage with faster attacks. For early-to-mid game players, I’d recommend Carnivorous Plant for better value. Late-game players who already have a strong collection will appreciate Cannonocci’s Limited status and collection value.

Cannonocci vs. Mango

Winner: Mango (by far)

Mango’s insane 20,000 base damage puts it in a completely different league. However, at $367 million, Mango is a massive investment that most players won’t afford for months. The Cannonocci is much more accessible.

Bottom Line: The Cannonocci sits comfortably in the upper-mid tier of plants. It’s not the absolute best, but it’s a solid Limited rarity plant that’s worth obtaining for its collection value and respectable performance.

Community Reception and Player Reviews

Since the Plant Pantry Event launched, I’ve been closely monitoring community feedback across Discord, Reddit, and in-game chat. Here’s what the player base thinks about the Cannonocci:

Positive Feedback:

  • “Love the design! The chef aesthetic is adorable”
  • “Finally a Limited plant that’s actually obtainable without insane luck”
  • “3.3k DPS is solid for an event reward”
  • “The Plant Pantry Event was fun, not just mindless grinding”

Negative Feedback:

  • “The 5-second attack speed kills it for me”
  • “Not worth $100M to restart the event”
  • “Wish it was stronger for a Limited plant”
  • “Attack animation is cool but too slow”

Neutral Observations:

  • “Good collection piece, situational use”
  • “Better than most Legendary plants, worse than Godly”
  • “Event was well-designed, reward is okay”

My take aligns with the community consensus: the Cannonocci is a solid B-tier plant that’s definitely worth obtaining during the event, but it’s not going to revolutionize your gameplay the way some Secret-tier plants do.

Event Exclusive: Other Plant Pantry Rewards Worth Noting

While the Cannonocci is the star of the show, the Plant Pantry Event offers several other valuable rewards that deserve mention:

Size Potion (Received Multiple Times): This consumable enlarges your plants for 5 minutes. While it’s primarily cosmetic, the enlarged plants are easier to click and look impressive. I’ve been using Size Potions during Admin Abuse events to make my best plants more visible.

Chef Chubbeloni Brainrot: This event-exclusive Limited brainrot is your other major reward at completion #22. While I haven’t extensively tested its income generation, having a Limited brainrot is always valuable for trading and collection purposes.

Carrot Launcher (Submission #15): This gear item is surprisingly useful! The Carrot Launcher provides utility beyond just the final Cannonocci reward, making the journey to 22 submissions worthwhile even before you reach the end.

Various Seeds and Items: Throughout the 22 submissions, you receive multiple valuable seeds (Sunflower, Dragonfruit, Eggplant, Grape) that help you prepare for future events and progression. Don’t overlook these mid-tier rewards!

Future-Proofing: Will the Cannonocci Remain Valuable?

As someone who’s played Plants Vs Brainrots since launch and witnessed multiple updates, I want to address an important question: will the Cannonocci remain valuable in the long term?

Short-Term (Next 1-3 Months): Definitely YES. The Cannonocci will be extremely rare and sought-after immediately after the event ends on November 22. Players who missed the event will want to trade for it, potentially driving up its value significantly.

Medium-Term (3-6 Months): Probably YES. Limited event plants typically maintain value unless the developers release stronger alternatives. Based on the game’s update pattern, we’ll likely see 2-3 more events before a plant significantly stronger than Cannonocci drops.

Long-Term (6+ Months): Maybe. Power creep is inevitable in games like this. Eventually, newer plants will likely outperform the Cannonocci in raw stats. However, its Limited status and unique design will preserve collection value even if it becomes less useful in actual gameplay.

My Advice: Get the Cannonocci now while you can. Even if it’s not the absolute strongest plant six months from now, you’ll regret missing it when you see other players showing off their Limited chef peanut and you don’t have one!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get the Cannonocci?

From my personal experience, completing the Plant Pantry Event takes between 6-12 hours of active gameplay, depending on your preparation level and whether you use Water Buckets. If you have all seeds pre-purchased and use Premium Water Buckets consistently, you can finish in 6-8 hours. Without preparation or speed items, expect 12-15 hours spread across multiple play sessions.

Can I get the Cannonocci after November 22, 2026?

No, you cannot obtain the Cannonocci Seed through the Plant Pantry Event after November 22, 2026. Your only option after the event ends is trading with other players who completed the event and are willing to trade their Cannonocci. Be prepared for extremely high trade prices due to its Limited rarity status.

What’s the best strategy to complete the Plant Pantry Event quickly?

The fastest strategy combines three elements: (1) Pre-purchase seeds for every plant type available in the shop, (2) Stock up on Premium Water Buckets before starting, (3) Keep 10-15 mid-tier plants growing constantly in your garden. When Chef Chubbeloni requests a plant you have ready, submit it immediately. For rare requests you don’t have, wait 60 seconds for the request to refresh rather than scrambling to obtain expensive plants.

Is the Cannonocci worth it compared to buying a plant from the shop?

It depends on your situation. The Cannonocci’s 3.3k DPS is comparable to plants costing $50-100 million in the shop. Since completing the event is “free” (aside from seed costs and time investment), I’d say it’s definitely worth it. However, if you’re very early game and struggling to reach Rebirth 1 before November 22, investing that time in progression might be more valuable than obtaining the Cannonocci.

Does the 5-second attack interval make the Cannonocci bad?

Not necessarily “bad,” but it does make the Cannonocci situational rather than universally strong. The slow attack speed means it’s best used as a specialized heavy-hitter alongside faster plants, rather than as your primary defender. In boss battles or against tanky brainrots, the high damage per hit can be excellent. For rapid wave clearing, faster-attacking plants perform better.

Can I use multiple Cannonocci plants at once?

Yes, you can plant multiple Cannonocci in your garden simultaneously if you complete the Plant Pantry Event multiple times (costs $100M per restart) or trade for additional copies. However, I’d personally recommend diversifying your plant lineup rather than stacking multiple Cannonocci, since you’ll want a mix of attack speeds and ranges for optimal defense.

What mutations work best with the Cannonocci?

Frozen mutation is the best option for Cannonocci, providing 4x damage plus a freeze effect that compensates for the slow attack speed. Neon mutation (4.5x damage) is also excellent, maximizing the damage output of each hit. Diamond (3x) and Gold (2x) mutations are solid upgrades but less impactful than Frozen or Neon.

How much does it cost to restart the Plant Pantry Event?

Restarting the Plant Pantry Event costs $100,000,000 (100 million cash). This allows you to complete all 22 submissions again and earn another Cannonocci Seed, Size Potion, and Chef Chubbeloni brainrot. Whether this investment is worthwhile depends on your cash reserves and whether you want multiple copies of Limited items.

Is the Cannonocci better than Mango or Tomatrio?

No, both Mango (20,000 base damage) and Tomatrio (4,500 base damage) outperform the Cannonocci in terms of raw stats. However, the Cannonocci is much more accessible than Mango ($367M) and free compared to Tomatrio ($125M) if you complete the Plant Pantry Event. It’s about value relative to investment, not just absolute power.

Will there be another chance to get the Cannonocci in the future?

Based on how Yo Gurt Studios has handled previous event-exclusive plants, there’s no guarantee the Cannonocci will ever be available again after this event. Limited rarity items in Plants Vs Brainrots typically remain exclusive to their release events. Don’t count on a re-release – get it now while you can!

Final Thoughts

After spending weeks researching, testing, and analyzing the Cannonocci, here’s my final verdict:

YES, absolutely get the Cannonocci if:

  • You can access Central Island before November 22, 2026
  • You enjoy collecting Limited plants
  • You have 6-12 hours to invest in the event
  • You want a solid mid-to-high tier plant without spending $50M+

Consider skipping ONLY if:

  • You literally cannot reach Rebirth 1 before the deadline
  • You’re extremely early game (under $10M total cash)
  • You have zero interest in Limited collectibles
  • You’d rather spend your time grinding for cash

For the vast majority of players, the Cannonocci represents excellent value. It’s a Limited rarity plant that you can obtain through gameplay rather than luck or massive cash investment. While it’s not the absolute strongest plant in the game, its respectable 3.3k DPS, unique design, and Limited status make it a worthy addition to any collection.

The Plant Pantry Event has been one of my favorite updates in Plants Vs Brainrots. Unlike pure RNG-based events where you just spam-click and pray for rare spawns, this event rewards preparation, strategy, and active engagement. The journey to obtaining the Cannonocci feels rewarding rather than frustrating.

My biggest piece of advice: don’t procrastinate! November 22 will arrive faster than you think, and I’ve already seen multiple players in the community panicking because they waited too long to start the event. If you’re reading this and haven’t begun yet, start today!
