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. 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 and β will often cause enemies to cry, feel strange, numb, and in some circumstances, be instantly destroyed. PK Flash γ and Ω will often destroy enemies. 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''.

In ''Mother 3'', [[Lucas]] would learn PK Flash after he was shocked by an electrical discharge. The PK Flash in ''Mother 3'' didn't have any levels, so PK Flash could deal minor status afflictions like crying or one-hit KOs at any point of the game.
