Attack Potency: At least Country level (As an Espada, Szayelaporro would be stronger than the Privaron Espada, such as Dordoni,[11][12][13][14] since Nnoitra claims the current Espada are stronger than the previous,[15] which is supported by the databooks which claim the Espada are above all other Arrancar,[16] and the power of the Espada make the Fraccion's pale in comparison;[17] additionally, the Espada are ranked according to their power, making Szayelaporro stronger than Aaroniero.[18][19] Broke the Shikai of Renji[20] and is far superior than Ilfordt[21][Note 1]), Large Country level with Gran Rey Cero (Gran Rey Cero is the most powerful enhanced version of the Cero,[22] making it a greater amplification than Cero Oscuras which is 10x,[23] it was calculated to be this strong but scales higher via powerscaling[Note 2]), at least Country level, likely higher with Resurreccion (Masked states that Szayelaporro was toying with Renji and Uryu[24][Note 3]), Large Country level with Cero Oscuras (All Espada can use this technique in their release forms[25] which amplifies their normal Cero by 10x[Note 4]), higher with Gran Rey Cero (It is the ultimate Cero, it was calculated to be this strong but scales higher via powerscaling)

Stamina: Superhuman (Lesser characters can fight for days at a time, and Szayelaporro can continue fighting even after taking injuries that would be lethal for humans)
Range: Extended Melee Range; Varies from Hundreds of Meters to Kilometers with his abilities
Standard Equipment: His Zanpakutō, Fornicarás, and Caja Negación.
- Caja Negación: A device provided to the Espada by Sosuke Aizen, the Caja Negación can be used to isolate a target, trapping them in in a separate dimension from which they cannot escape, but it cannot hold those of Espada-level strength for long.
- Rokureichū: Insects that Szayelaporro uses to record the spiritual properties of his enemies, carefully analyzing this information to use it to his advantage, learn of their abilities, and create counters.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Szayelaporro is a brilliant man, the top researcher and weapons developer of the Espada. Sadistic and incredibly intelligent, Szayelaporro has explored and developed a number of inventions for his own use, creating devices that can control Reiatsu and many advanced traps. He prepares for combat by carefully analyzing his opponents and their abilities beforehand, creating counters and failsafes and often even countering their abilities as they use them and he sees them, as he quickly sees through the techniques to discern their weaknesses. He is, however, somewhat unskilled in close combat for an Espada on top of being arrogant and convinced that he has reached "perfection")
Weaknesses: Szayelaporro is quite arrogant.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Cero: A powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy fired in a laser like fashion that only Hollows, Arrancars, and Visoreds can use. The power, force, speed, and blast area of the Cero is dependent on the strength, spiritual power, and sometimes skill of the user.
- Gran Rey Cero: A much more powerful Cero only accessible to the Espada. By mixing their blood with a Cero, the Espada can discharge a blast that can distort space and is powerful enough to destroy Las Noches.
- Cero Oscuras: A powerful Cero that can only be used by the Espada in their Resurrección. This Cero is powerful enough to destroy Las Noches as well.
Bala: An Arrancar ability similar to Cero, except it's weaker and 20 times faster.
Descorrer: A technique used by Arrancar to travel between Hueco Mundo and other worlds, creating a spiritual pathway called a Garganta with a gesture, walking through this portal to arrive at their destination in an instant. Szayelaporro also created a device that can open up "perfect" Garganta.
Hierro: A defensive technique used by Arrancar that toughens their skin by reinforcing it with condensed Reiryoku, allowing an Arrancar to confront an armed Shinigami with their bare hands. All Arrancar use this ability in some form to gain their supernatural toughness, but even an exceptionally powerful Hierro can be bypassed by focusing one's Reiryoku to a finer, sharper point.
Pesquisa: A perception technique used by Arrancar, which sends out a pulse that detects nearby sources of Reiatsu and gauging their power.
Sonído: A technique used by Arrancar that allows for high-speed movement, effectively analogous to the Shunpo used by Shinigami, and used in bursts to traverse distances quickly and fight at these high speeds.
Resurrección: The Arrancar equivalent of a Shikai/Bankai, this form allows an Arrancar to unleash their true power as a Hollow.
Fornicarás: Szayelaporro's Resurrección, it's release command is Sip. When released, it transforms his body, changing his outfit and giving him four wing or branch-like protrusions that come out from his back.
- Carbon-Copy: Szayelaporro can release a tide of black fluid that allows him to produce copies of anything it touches. These copies have the abilities of the originals and, when destroyed, will simply split apart into more copies.
- Gabriel: Szayelaporro's ultimate ability, which allows him to "impregnate" an enemy when he is lethally injured by implanting a portion of his own genetic material inside their body. Inside, Szayelaporro drains his victim's fluids before eating his way out, typically killing his victim, and rapidly growing back to maturity.
- Possession: If Szayelaporro is eaten by an opponent, his body will liquefy inside theirs, diffusing throughout their body and invading their nervous system, allowing him to take control of their body.
- Teatro de Titere: By grabbing an opponent with one of his wings and engulfing them before spitting them out, Szayelaporro can create a small doll in their likeness. This doll can be opened to expose their internal organs, which Szayelaporro can attack to reflect this damage on the original.
- Telon Balon: Szayelaporro can wrap his branches around his body and engorge them, taking the form of a protective ball that protects his body from harm.
