'''PK Thunder 2''', or "PK Rocket", is the term used for hitting Ness or Lucas with their own ''PK Thunder'' while it is still under their control. The Japanese developers dubbedbthis move PK Jibaku (PK{{ja|自爆}}). The word jibaku means 'self-destruct' or 'suicide bomb,' a fitting term for a tactic that turns Ness and Lucas into human missiles. This [[technique]] can be used by Ness and Lucas. Doing so will transform Ness or Lucas into a human projectile, which will move in different directions depending on what part of the body is hit. If the Ness or Lucas makes contact with an enemy, he will deal a good amount of damage and knockback. CPUs playing as either Ness or Lucas are also programmed to use this strategy, but they only use PK Thunder 2 vertically, even in situations where only recovering horizontally or diagonally would prevent death. ''PK Thunder 2'' is also Ness and Lucas's main method of recovery, given that it launches them fairly far in a straight direction. While using the move, the user will fall much slower. When PK Thunder 2 is aimed downwards towards the ground, Ness or Lucas will enter a lying position, facing downwards. In ''Ultimate'', an arrow denotes the direction Ness or Lucas will move in upon initiating PK Thunder 2.

While it is a strong recovery move, it is also very linear and predictable. As the move causes [[helpless|helplessness]] if it ends in mid-air, it is extremely susceptible to [[gimp]]s as the projectile produced by PK Thunder can be destroyed, [[Absorption|absorbed]], [[Reflection|reflected]], [[pocket]]ed, or blocked by the stage.
