The Solar Flare technique blinds the opponent with a flash of light.), Air Manipulation, Shockwave Generation (Kiais are invisible blasts that are produced by the emission of ki or rapid hand movement to crush the enemy with raw energy.), Limited Matter Manipulation (Ki blasts are described as "materializing the body's internal energy outside the body" and are described as chemical projectiles), Aura (Ki users can increase the strength of their own attacks with ki.

Fought against 50% final form Frieza, who scales above his second form and third form, the former who with a power level of 1 million is above pre healing Goku's theoratical KKx10 [8.12 FOE] and the latter who'd be "many times" stronger with his third transformation.), up to Solar System level with KKx20 [162.4 FOE], higher as a Super Saiyan (50x stronger [20,406 FOE]) | High Universe level (Was able to have a competitive fight against a casual Perfect Cell, who is stated to have infinite power on numerous occasions and is stated to be capable of destroying all the planets and stars in the universe, with the universe being stated to be infinite multiple times.

Fought against Kid Buu who is stated to be the strongest Buu. The Buu's have numerous statements of being powerful enough to destroy the universe. Was about to destroy the Grand Kaio world which is a significant portion of Heaven which is infinite in size. Goku and Buu were about to destroy the Kaioshin Realm which is 1/10th the size of the macrocosm. Would scale above Buuhan's feat of crushing the living universe with alternate dimensions. After having his energy restored, it was implied in the anime and manga that Goku was the strongest in the universe, and then he overpowered Kid Buu as a MSSJ.), likely Low Multiverse level (The living universe would include the Demon Realm, a different dimension that is universal-sized realm containing multiple areas, each spatially separated from each other, where not even the kai kai can reach.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Note: Thanks to @Crim33222 for the calculations. A lot of the speed stuff is extremely lowballed, as it doesn't factor in Zenkai boosts and the power jumps between each characters base forms.
Note 2: This is a pseudo-composite profile, primarily using the anime, but using guides and a few manga panels, as long as it doesn't contradict the anime. Such as Future Gohan fighting full power androids, but in the manga they only use half power.
