Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Ki Manipulation (Can be used defensively and offensively, to strengthen his skin or to fire ki blasts, which can home in on targets, and form defensive barriers), Supernatural Willpower (able to endure poison that takes immense will and spirit to survive), Ki Sensing (Can locate others by reading their ki, detect malicious intent, difference in power levels, and beings in different dimensions), Enhanced Senses (Even without ki training, Goku has exceptional senses that allow him to locate small, distant objects by tracking their smell, see clearly over long distances, and track the movements of others even in pitch black conditions by feeling vibrations in the air), Analytical Prediction, Acrobatics, Pressure Point Strikes, Flight, Accelerated Development, Reactive Power Level (As a Saiyan, Goku grows stronger every time he fights and can become stronger in the midst of combat, vastly increasing in strength whenever he is mortally injured), Afterimage Creation, Power Mimicry (Can easily replicate other Ki-based techniques after seeing them once), Light Manipulation (Can create flashes of light via Solar flare to blind opponents and Super Saiyan forms can glow in pitch-black conditions), Telepathy (Can telepathically communicate with others and read minds), Shockwaves Generation (Can create powerful shockwaves via Kiai) , Teleportation, Dimensional Travel, BFR, Statistics Amplification (Goku can greatly enhance his capabilities with Kaio-ken, by potentially up to twenty times), High Pain Tolerance, Transformation (Can transform into a Super Saiyan, increasing his capabilities drastically), Adapted to 100 times Earth's gravity via the Gravity Machine, Fusionism (Via Fusion Dance), Greater Analytical Prediction (During his fight against Hit, he managed to predict his movements after he skipped time by 0.1 seconds, allowing Goku to counter Hit's Time-Skip ability), Sealing (Via Mafuba, which allows him to seal opponents within a sealing urn), Summoning (He can summon Zen'ō by pushing a button, but this is not applicable to combat). Resistance to Time Stop (Goku broke through Hit’s Time-Skip Technique), Deconstruction, Matter Destruction, Soul Destruction, Existence Erasure (Performed Hakai in SSB, which is capable of reducing objects to dust, destroying their soul, and erasing them from existence even destroying matter itself, but Goku deemed his version of Hakai a failure, so it's uncertain whether he can erase people and objects on the same level as Beerus), Instinctive Reaction (Ultra Instinct -Sign- form and Perfected Ultra Instinct form allow him to utilize Ultra Instinct technique while it lasts, which allows his body to act independently, dodge attacks, and fight automatically without the need for thought or delayed actions), Limited Air Manipulation (Goku can punch the air rapidly at incredible speed to launch a barrage of air attacks), Telekinesis (Was able to lift and keep both Moro and Granolah in the air without touching them), Large Size (Type 1 and 2; Can create large Ki Constructs that vary in size), Deconstruction (Deconstructed a boulder in his fight against Moro). Resistance to Illusion Creation (Goku could sense where the real Moro was despite his illusions), Resistance to Cold, Radiations, Poison (Survived after drinking the Water of the gods), Paralysis (Managed to get out of Frieza's Imprisonment Ball at the last moment), and Harsh Temperatures (Survived and trained extensively for at least a year within the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, which has temperatures that range from -40°F to 248°F), Information Analysis (Granolah was unable to find any weak points in him), Deconstruction, Matter Destruction, Soul Destruction and Existence Erasure (Was capable of resisting Ultra Ego Vegeta's Hakai, which is capable of reducing objects to dust, destroying their soul, and erasing them from existence even destroying matter itself)
Attack Potency: At least Large Star level+ (Stronger than his Buu Saga base form), Multi-Solar System level with Super Saiyan Forms (Believed he could defeat Super Perfect Cell and possibly contend with Kid Buu with Super Saiyan alone. Stronger with SSJ2 and SSJ3) | Low Multiverse level with Super Saiyan God (Capable of shaking the macrocosm as well as eventually destroying it) and later in base (Is shown and stated to have absorbed the power of Super Saiyan God into his base form) | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Forms (Considerably stronger than before. Effortlessly dominated a Granolah clone who had some power from his real self. Later on in the arc as a SSB he was able to somewhat keep up with Granolah after awakening his right eye, and after being healed by Vegeta he fought a causal Awakened Powered Gas for awhile before getting pressured. In Perfect Ultra Instinct he could fight and contend with a more serious Gas alongside UE Vegeta. After unlocking True Ultra Instinct, he became a little stronger than Gas)
Speed: Massively FTL+, higher with Super Saiyan Forms, far higher with Super Saiyan God and later in base | Massively FTL+, far higher with Super Saiyan Blue (Much faster than before) | Massively FTL+ (Faster than before), far higher with God Forms (Faster than before. Kept up with Granolah. Was able to keep up with Awakened Powered Gas as a SSB. After using True Ultra Instinct, Goku was able to overwhelm Gas.)
Lifting Strength: At least Class M
Striking Strength: At least Large Star level+, Multi-Solar System level with Super Saiyan Forms (Believed he could defeat Super Perfect Cell and possibly contend with Kid Buu with Super Saiyan alone. Stronger with SSJ2 and SSJ3) | Low Multiverse level with Super Saiyan God | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Forms
Durability: At least Large Star level+, Multi-Solar System level with Super Saiyan Forms (Believed he could defeat Super Perfect Cell and possibly contend with Kid Buu with Super Saiyan alone. Stronger with SSJ2 and SSJ3) | Low Multiverse level with Super Saiyan God | Low Multiverse level, far higher with God Forms
Stamina: Superhuman (Goku can train for days with minimal rest and can fight through his long, arduous fights with the likes of Vegeta and Frieza, continuing to fight against Vegeta even after overexerting himself with Kaio-ken x4, and ultimately outlasting the latter even after being effortlessly beaten around, pushing himself to his limits with Kaio-ken, and exhausting himself with his Spirit Bomb. When he was younger, he managed to pull through and defeat Piccolo even after all of his limbs were broken and he was mortally injured.)
Range: Standard Melee Range. Interplanetary with ki blasts and attacks. Low Multiversal with Instant Transmission and with ki-based attacks as a Super Saiyan God, and after absorbing the form's power into his base form
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Average in general. Genius in combat (Although he lacks knowledge when it comes to things that aren't related to fighting, Goku is a master of prodigal skill when it comes to martial arts, with years of experience fighting against powerful opponents with a plethora of abilities. His skill when it comes to combat and the usage of ki allows him to replicate other ki-based techniques after seeing them once, and he was the first to realize how much energy the Super Saiyan transformations unnecessarily drained. Despite this drawback, he was the first to master the Super Saiyan state, making it highly efficient. He is a genius in combat and is capable of devising new applications of his techniques on the fly, such as using Kamehameha with his feet)
Weaknesses: Goku seeks strong opponents and therefore will allow his opponents to reach their full power for the sake of a good fight. Kaio-ken strains his body, causing him intense pain and exhaustion if he overuses it. He often drops his guard and leaves openings for his opponents whenever he gets distracted, lowering his durability. His Spirit Bomb requires a long charge-up period, during which time he is vulnerable. He cannot survive in the vacuum of space.
