PK Freeze

PK Freeze (PK フリーズ PK Furīzu), known as PSI Freeze in EarthBound, is a PSI ability that appears in all the games in the Mother series. It is learned in EarthBound Beginnings by Ana, in EarthBound by Paula and Poo, and in Mother 3 by Kumatora. It tends to be effective on "organic" enemies, such as humans and animal-like enemies.
In EarthBound and Mother 3, PK Freeze of all tiers works on a single enemy, and has the possibility of solidifying them, which prevents them from moving for one turn. It also has a chance of decreasing the enemy's Psychic Shield strength by 1. PK Freeze in these two games has overall the highest damage output of the main elemental offensive PSI attacks, so long as the enemy doesn't have a resistance to it. In EarthBound, the power of PK Freeze Ω rivals PSI Rockin Ω and PK Starstorm Ω except that it doesn't hit multiple targets.
In EarthBound Beginnings, PK Freeze works a little differently from it in the games that came after it in that while levels α, β, and γ are single target, Ω hits all enemies. With the exception of γ, PK Freeze is weaker in EarthBound Beginnings than it is in the other games compared to the other offensive PSI moves. PK Freeze γ has a special effect where it lowers down an enemies health to a "critical state", allowing them to be defeated right afterward with a single weak attack.
