 ==In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]] series==
-PK Thunder is Ness's Special Up move, available in all Super Smash Bros. games. He can redirect it at himself to fire himself at enemies, which does much damage. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], PK Thunder is once again Ness' Special Up move, but is also now Lucas'. Lucas' is different in the fact that it can move through enemies, while Ness' can't.

+PK Thunder is {{SSB|Ness}}'s up special move, available in all Super Smash Bros. games, and {{SSB|Lucas}}'s Up special starting with his introduction in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. For both characters PK Thunder features a guidable ball of lightning that can move in any direction the player chooses, it will disappear after a while or if it touches a solid object.

+The player can redirect the ball of lightning to hit themselves and launch them like a missile. This attack has been dubbed by fans as '''PK Rocket''' or '''PK Thunder 2'''. PK Rocket is Ness and Lucas's main form of {{sw|recovery}} in all of the Super Smash Bros. games, the attack sends them a very long distance, however due to the startup it can easily be intercepted.
+===Differences===
+PK Thunder functions slightly differently for both characters: For Ness it disappears upon hitting a character, however Lucas's doesn't. As a result Lucas's version is much safer as a recovery. Starting with [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]] Ness's version will not disappear until the "tail" fully appears. For PK Rocket, Ness's variant does a single blow with powerful knockback for a useful KOing option, Lucas's instead is a multi hitting attack and sends him a much greater distance than Ness's.
+===Customs===
+Ness has two extra versions of PK Thunder as custom specials in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U:
+*'''Rolling PK Thunder''': This version does not last as long and moves slower, PK Rocket also goes a shorter distance. However, it is a very powerful move with a high damage output and knockback, having strong KO potential.
+*'''Lasting PK Thunder''': Instead of disappearing when hitting an opponent, the lightning ball goes through them. PK Rocket is also a multi hitting attack rather than a single blow. It is identical to Lucas's variant, however PK Rocket doesn'ttravel as far in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
+Because of Lucas's status as a downloadable character, he does not have custom variants of PK Thunder.
