Flash

Lucas using PK Flash on Natural Killer Cyborg.

For the PSI move in the Super Smash Bros. series, see PK Flash (Super Smash Bros.).

PK Flash (PKフラッシュPK furasshu) or (PSIフラッシュ Pusai furasshu, PSI Flash in EarthBound) is a PSI ability in EarthBound and Mother 3. In battle, it targets all enemies, and may cause them to suffer from crying, numbness, feeling strange or becoming unconscious, depending on the power level. PSI Flash is realized in EarthBound by Ness, and in Mother 3 by Lucas, where, just like PK Love, it is learned not through level-up, but through an event. Surprisingly, it is possible to use PSI Flash to instantly defeat strong enemies, such as Ness' Nightmare in EarthBound and the King Statue in Mother 3, albeit with a low success rate. PSI Flash serves as the successor move to both PK Beam and PSI Darkness from EarthBound Beginnings.
