Here's a quick walkthrough and strategy guide for the "Pirate Seas" stages in the action and arcade defense game - Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time!. Available on Android Google Play and iOS App Store. Follow and quickly deploy the suggested plant formation below to help you defend against the zombie hordes (not the only way though, just treat this as a guide).
Pirate Seas stages will introduce pirates, "water spaces" and "planks". Planting space is now limited because you can't plant on water spaces and some plants like the Potato Mine can't be planted on planks!
