PK Flash (localized as PSI Flash in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'') first appeared in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'' and later appeared in ''{{s|wikibound|Mother 3}}''. In both games, the move involved using the character's psychic power to cause a strong flash of light that could affect all enemies. In ''EarthBound'', Ness learns PK Flash. There are four levels to this power, which are: α (Alpha), β (Beta), γ (Gamma), and Ω (Omega). PK Flash α will only cause enemies to cry or feel strange. PK Flash β can also cause enemies to feel numb or be instantly destroyed. PK Flash γ and Ω each increase the chance of more powerful effects and decrease the chance of weaker ones. When Ness uses PK Flash in ''Smash'', the player can either let PK Flash fully charge and "explode" or stop charging early for a less powerful explosion. PK Flash being weaker when less charged and most powerful when fully charged is likely a reference to the different levels of PK Flash in ''EarthBound'', considering there are four different audio cues the detinating portion of the move can make depending on the charge starting in ''Smash 4''. | PK Flash (localized as PSI Flash in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'') first appeared in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'' and later appeared in ''{{s|wikibound|Mother 3}}''.
