'''PK Thunder''' is a [[PSI]] attack, introduced in [[ | '''PK Thunder''' is a [[PSI]] attack, introduced in [[EarthBound Beginnings]]. It is a electricity-based attack that summons bolts of lightning to strike random targets, with more being called down at higher stages. PK Thunder can be reflected by the [[Franklin Badge]] in [[EarthBound]] and [[Mother 3]]. PK Thunderis learned by [[Ana]] in [[EarthBound Beginnings]], [[Paula]] and [[Poo]] in EarthBound, and [[Kumatora]] in Mother 3. | ||
==In [[Mother | ==Overview== | ||
The user causes a lightning bolt to strike an opponent for electrical damage. In EarthBound Beginnings characters with the [[Earth Pendant]] equipped will be resistant to it, while in EarthBound and Mother 3 the [[Franklin Badge]] will reflect the lightning back at the user. | |||
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. | |||

*The probability of Thunder hitting an enemy is calculated as ''Number of foes/4'', and the probability will not decrease if some enemies are defeated before the attack is finished. There is also no elemental resistance for thunder, meaning the damage will never decrease. In addition, PSI Thunder will also erase [[PSI Shield|psychic shields or psychic power shields]] protecting any combatants it connects with. | *The probability of Thunder hitting an enemy is calculated as ''Number of foes/4'', and the probability will not decrease if some enemies are defeated before the attack is finished.
