'''PK Freeze''' ({{ja|PKフリーズ|Pīkei Furīzu}}, ''PK Freeze'') is [[Lucas]]'s [[neutral special move]] since ''Brawl'' and is one of {{SSB4|Ness}}'s custom neutral specials in ''SSB4''. As one would expect by the name, it [[freeze]]s opponents upon connecting.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Ness can customize his standard [[neutral special]], [[PK Flash]], into PK Freeze. The move behaves similarly to PK Flash (and not Lucas's PK Freeze), with lower damage output and [[knockback]]. In return, the move freezes opponents. Ness's version does not take on the snowflake appearance of Lucas' version and instead looks like a PK Flash with a deeper blue color compared to the original PK Flash itself. Unlike the PK Freeze of Lucas, it can never KO normally, but if the opponent is at a high enough percentage, Ness can use an attack to knock them offstage. {{clr}}

PK Freeze (localized as PSI Freeze in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'') first appeared in ''{{iw|wikibound|Mother|video game}}'' and has appeared in all {{uv|Mother}} games since. In all three of the ''Mother'' games, the move involved using the character's psychic power to cause ice damage to enemies. The move tends to be a single target, high damage ability, with the exception of PK Freeze Omega in ''Earthbound Beginnings'', which damages all enemies. In the ''Mother'' series, Lucas and Ness cannot learn the move; instead, it is learned by some of their friends and party members, {{s|wikibound|Paula}} and {{s|wikibound|Poo}} in ''EarthBound'' and {{s|wikibound|Kumatora}} in ''Mother 3'' respectively.

In the description for the move, it states that the player causes a very cold swirl to go around an enemy and could cause the enemy to freeze, but when in battle, it shows hexagons and diamonds, which could be the graphical stand in for snowflakes, circling on the enemy. In ''Mother 3,'' PK Freeze instead seems to flash freeze enemies within hexagonal and diamond shapes before exploding. During a cutscene in Mother 3, when Kumatora is first encountered by the player assuming the role as the character Duster, she uses an icy, snowflake-like projectile to defend herself that functioned closely to how PK Freeze does in the ''Smash'' series. It travelled in an arc similarly to how PK Freeze moves when it is used by Lucas, meaning this may have been inspired how the move is executed in ''Smash''. Also, when Lucas performs the move in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', a snowflake inside a hexagon can be seen before "exploding", which may be a reference to the geometric patterns that appear when PK Freeze is used in battle.


In ''Super Smash Bros Ultimate,'' this reference was made more apparent by having the exact same particle effects from Mother 3 emit upon PK Freeze's detonation.
In the description for the move in ''EarthBound'', it states that the player causes a very cold swirl to go around an enemy and could cause the enemy to freeze, but when in battle, it shows hexagons and squares circling on the enemy. The same is true for ''Mother 3''. During a cutscene in Mother 3, when Kumatora is first encountered by the player assuming the roll as the character Duster, she uses an icy, snowflake like projectile to defend herself that explodes similarly to PK Freeze.
