The Jar of Pickles, or Pickles, is a Geraldo's Shop item in Bloons TD 6. It applies a buff to towers which increases their damage by 1 but reduces their attack speed by 25% (1.33× attack cooldown) for 5 rounds. The buff also applies to sub-towers of the tower it is applied to – for example, it applies to all of Geraldo's sub-towers if used on Geraldo himself. At level 16, it is upgraded to also provide +1 Fortified damage to affected towers.
Jar of Pickles may not be applied to Banana Farms or Monkey Villages other than Primary Expertise. It can, however, be applied to Glue Gunner even without any damaging upgrades – this does not increase their glue's damage. An upgraded version of the buff may be applied to a tower with an inferior version, overriding it and resetting the duration.

This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Add additional examples of towers that benefit from Pickles synergy and why and when you'd use that synergy. Also determine how important layer-skipping is for pickles synergy, if necessary. 1-0-2 spac when no alch? Jitsu? jungledruid? |

Jar of Pickles' flat damage bonus at the cost of a minor speed reduction is most efficient on low damage towers (such as the Tack Zone or Sun Avatar). Any tower with 1 or 2 damage is overall buffed by the Jar of Pickles, those with 3 damage are overall neutral, and any tower with 4 or more is effectively nerfed. When Geraldo gets to level 16, it buffs 1 to 5 damage towers only against Fortified Bloons. If buffed by Alchemist or Bloons are affected by debuffs, treat the damage value higher (e.g. Berserker Brew = +1). Flat damage bonuses also drastically improve layer-skipping of Bloons for low-damage towers.
- Overdrive: When used for single-target without other buffs, or to handle Fortified more efficiently, Overdrive retains sizable DPS without much compromise to its reliability.
- Gerry's Fire: The fire spirit's flames have low damage and attack quickly, and allowing it to layer-skip spawns fewer Bloons during the mid-game. Only use this synergy on towers that already deal low damage.

Geraldo has a lot of items that are still undervalued compared to others while Pickles appears to stand far above the rest as the downside for the power increase isn’t quite enough. We’re pulling more of these lower & higher items closer in to the middle

Geraldo is coming into line with himself, though as he still feels too far ahead of other heroes we are scaling up some of the shop prices to more justify the power level.
