In EarthBound Beginnings PK Thunder can be aimed at any chosen opponent, unlike in its successors. This is also the only game where the Franklin Badge will not reflect the attack, as instead it reflects the lethal [[PK Beam]] γ. Oddly PK Thunder does not have an Ω tier and only goes up to γ, the reason for this is unknown.

PK Thunder was completely overhauled in EarthBound and Mother 3: now the move no longer allows the user to choose a target, instead it targets a random opponent with a chance to miss, in Mother 3 its accuracy is noticeably higher than in EarthBound. The accuracy of PK Thunder is higher when more enemies are present. The number of times PK Thunder strikes increases with each tier: PK Thunder α strikes once, β strikes twice, γ strikes thrice, and Ω strikes four times. PK Thunder will also remove any [[PSI Shield]]s that have been put up, and in Mother 3 it alsp has a chance of [[Paralysis|paralyzing]] a target.

The "Crashing Boom Bang" attack in EarthBound is functionally identicle to PK Thunder and so can also be reflected by the Franklin Badge.
