PK Fire shuts down most of Sonic's combos from what I recall. Punish, punish, punish.
From experience, I'd also say stick to jabs and nAir since Ness can get those out the fastest. Most of his other moves are too laggy for Sonic unless you're good at reading your opponent.

Avoiding gimps is difficult with Ness regardless of the matchup. Prevention is the best medicine with Ness, honestly. You don't want to be in a situation where your PK Thunder is vulnerable, or where they'll purposely take the hit to halve your travel distance. That being said, Ness has a few options at his disposal to mess with the opponent's timing such as stalling with PSI Magnet, or performing an aerial or air dodge the moment Ness begins his double jump in order to extend it. In short, if you must recover with PKT, try to do so when they least expect it.
Also, do keep in mind that PKT can't be gimped for a split second after it starts.
Don't be afraid to throw out fAir and nAir to try and space them.
I'm not an expert, there's people here far better than me, but what I've said works for me.

Don't take my word for it, but someone posted this on an FB Smash Community I'm apart of.
How to Beat Sonic
The question you should be asking yourself is, "Do I have enough match up experience against Sonic?"

Don't get hit. Joking aside, be ready to get juggled because Sanic excels at juggling. Mix up your DI, air dodges and Nairs so you prevent getting juggled the entire match. Recovering is never easy for Ness anyways, and it's the usual, mixup DJ, DJ Fair, DJ Uair, PKT, DJ airdodge. And pay attention where Sanic is. He can Fair, Bair, Nair or Spring to kill you and force you to Up B.

This is a great example of what does (and doesn't) work in this matchup.
Basically, play as boring as possible and use about 3 moves, and you'll wall out Sonic.
Trying anything too fancy will just create opportunities for him to punish Ness.
