PK Thunder: Difference between revisions

'''PK Thunder''' (Japanese: PK{{ja|サンダー}}, ''PK Sandaa'') is the [[Up Special Move]] for [[Ness]] and [[Lucas]]. When used, it creates a stream of lightning whose direction can be controlled using the control stick. As such, using PK Thunder will result in Ness and Lucas not being able to move or defend, because the control stick is used to aim PK Thunder.

== PK Thunder 2 ==

"PK Thunder 2" or "PK Rocket" is the term used for hitting Ness or Lucas with their own ''PK Thunder'' while it is still under their control. The Japanese developers called this move PK Jibaku (PK{{ja|自爆}}). The word jibaku means 'self-destruct' or 'suicide bomb,' a fitting term for a tactic that turns Ness and Lucas into human missiles.

== Origin ==

While Ness and Lucas were never able to learn PK Thunder in their games, it could be learned by one of their party members; for Ness, his party members [[Paula]] and [[Poo]] could learn PK Thunder, while Lucas's party member, Kumatora, also learned PK Thunder. While PK Thunder is a controlled projectile in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, in ''Earthbound'' and ''Mother 3'', PK Thunder hits randomly without control.
