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. | 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 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.
