[[File:Ness PK Fire Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|[[Ness]]'s PK Fire in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'']]
'''PK Fire''' is a [[wikibound:PSI|PSI]] attack appearing in every installment in the ''MOTHER'' / ''EarthBound'' series and as a special attack used by [[Ness]] and [[Lucas]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' it is [[Ness]]'s neutral special move; since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', however, it is the side special move of both Ness and Lucas, Ness gaining [[PK Flash]] as his new neutral special move. When used, Ness and Lucas throw a bolt of lightning from their fingertips, Ness's traveling at a downward arc, while Lucas's travels directly forward, but it pushes him back a set distance. In addition, when Ness uses PK Fire in the air, the bolt travels at a greater downward arc than on the ground. The attacks upon hitting something are also different; Ness's creates a pillar of fire that deals continuous damage until it disappears, while Lucas's bursts into a fire that hits once.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', Ness is given two custom variants for this move. The first is '''PK Bonfire''', which fires a bolt of lightning that does not travel as far or as fast, with higher start-up and ending lag, but the fire it creates upon hitting lasts longer and has more upward knockback. The second is '''PK Fire Burst''', which behaves similarly to Lucas's PK Fire; this move has more start-up lag than normal PK Fire.

Ness also uses PK Fire for his down throw, though in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', the fire is absent.

==Trivia==
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the trophy for Paula suggests that she taught him this move along with [[PK Thunder]], since Ness cannot learn these moves in ''EarthBound''; no explanation is offered for Lucas, however, since he also cannot learn this move.
