Overview

Ness's only recovery move and a decent attack. PK thunder will disappear if it hits with the head after a short period of time, however if the attack hits with the tail it will be a much weaker hit. If Ness hits himself with PK thunder, he will be launched in the opposite direction in which he hit himself. PK thunder 2 is a very strong move dealing lots of damage and killing as early as 30 percent when sweet spotted. PK thunder 2 also grants intangibility for a few frames after Ness is launched.
