'''PSI Rockin''' is Ness's signature [[PSI]] attack, only appearing in [[EarthBound]]. It does a large amount of damage to all enemies, with the power varying between ranks. | '''PSI Rockin''' (Japanese: '''PKキアイ''' ''PK Kiai'', translates to ''PK Fighting Spirit''), also referred to '''PK Rockin''' is Ness's signature [[PSI]] attack, only appearing in ''[[EarthBound]]''. It does a large amount of damage to all enemies, with the power varying between ranks. [[Ness's Nightmare]] and [[Giygas]] (when inside the Devil's Machine) also know this attack. | ||
==In [[EarthBound]]== | The attack's name is determined by what is chosen as the player's "favorite thing" at the beginning of [[EarthBound|the game]]. | ||
==Overview== | |||
When Ness uses PSI Rockin, psychedelic lights and sounds are displayed dealing high damage to all enemies, while also having the possibility of decreasing one of the targets' PSI Shield's strength by 1. PSI Rockin Ω is one of the most powerful PSI attacks in the game, dealing up to 960 damage to a target, only rivaled by [[PK Starstorm]] Ω and [[PK Freeze]] Ω. Because PSI Rockin is not part of any element there is no [[Pendant]] that can protect against it. | |||
PSI Rockin can be seen as the successor to [[PK Beam]] from ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]'' as they are both non-elemental PSI attacks, with the only exceptions being it is multi-targeting instead of single target (sans PK Beam Ω) and it is Ness's exclusive move. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
[[File:Rockin gamma wii u vc.gif|250px|thumb|PSI Rockin γ's altered animation on the Wii U. Notice the "fading" effect.]] | |||
*In the Wii U [[Virtual Console]] release of ''EarthBound'' PSI Rockin γ's animation was altered due to the rapid flashing creating a risk of causing seizures<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfeAqJZP2MA</ref>. | |||
*PSI Rockin is one of the only offensive PSI attacks that can miss. Another is [[PK Flash]]. | |||

**PSI Rockin α and γ are tied for the middle with 4 minimum damage per 1 PP, and 12 maximum damage per 1 PP. | |||
