Attack Potency: Continent level+ (As an Espada, Ulquiorra would be stronger than the Privaron Espada, such as DordoniBleach Chapter 250Bleach Chapter 251Bleach Chapter 254Bleach Official Character Book 2 Masked, since Nnoitora claims the current Espada are stronger than the previousBleach Chapter 292, which is supported by the databooks which claim the Espada are above all other ArrancarBleach Official Character Book 2 Masked, and the power of the Espada make the Fracción's pale in comparisonBleach Chapter 209; additionally, the Espada are ranked according to their power, making Ulquiorra stronger than NnoitoraBleach Official Character Book 2 MaskedBleach Official Character Book 3 Unmasked. Only three people in the World of the Living can combat Ulquiorra, which likely included Kisuke and YoruichiBleach Chapter 191Bleach Chapter 193Bleach Chapter 194Bleach Chapter 198, Ulquiorra is also capable of gaining the upper hand against both Kisuke and Yoruichi while they protect OrihimeBleach Official Character Book 2 Masked, prior to Ichigo's final fight with Grimmjow, Ulquiorra completely overwhelms a Hollowfied Bankai IchigoBleach Chapter 270Bleach Chapter 271. Ulquiorra can casually press and cut through a Black Getsuga from post-final Grimmjow fight Bankai IchigoBleach Chapter 339Bleach Chapter 340, upon getting angry, he easily overwhelms this IchigoBleach Chapter 341Bleach Chapter 342, and Ichigo needs to enhance his Hollowfied strikes with a Black Getsuga in order to press UlquiorraBleach Chapter 344 3.894 Petatons), Multi-Continent level with Gran Rey Cero (Gran Rey Cero is the most powerful enhanced version of the CeroBleach Official Character Book 2 Masked, making it a greater amplification than Cero Oscuras which is 10xBleach Official Character Book 3 Unmasked, it was calculated to be this strong but scales higher via powerscaling 38.94 Petatons), Multi-Continent level with Resurrección (His Resurrección is noteable for its offensive abilityBleach Official Character Book 3 Unmasked, he is stronger than Resurrección Nnoitora, can cut off a Hollowfied Bankai Ichigo's head and utterly overpowers IchigoBleach Chapter 345Bleach Chapter 347 4.435 Petatons), higher with Cero Oscuras (All Espada can use this technique in their release formsBleach Chapter 346 which amplifies their normal Cero by 10x, and Ulquiorra completely shattered Ichigo's Hollow Mask, which Uryu sensed occurBleach Chapter 347 44.35 Petatons), far higher with Gran Rey Cero (It is the ultimate Cero, it was calculated to be this strong but scales higher via powerscaling), at least Multi-Continent level with Segunda Etapa (Ulquiorra effortlessly overpowers Uryu and OrihimeBleach Chapter 349, Uryu describes Ulquiorra's Segunda Etapa as unlike anything he's ever encounteredBleach Chapter 348, which would include Ulquiorra's Resurrección Cero Oscuras, and this is consistent as now Ulquiorra can shatter Ichigo's Hollow Mask with mere physical strikes, eventually killing IchigoBleach Chapter 348 44.35 Petatons), higher with Cero Oscuras (Cero Oscuras is a 10x increase to regular Ceros 443.5 Petatons), far higher with his strongest attacks (Gran Rey Cero is the ultimate Cero, and Ulqiorra's Lanza del Relampago is his hardest attack to control, forcing a Full Hollow Ichigo to sharpen his claws to crush it, and even cut through that Ichigo's horn while he was off guardBleach Chapter 351Bleach Chapter 352, it was calculated to be this strong but it scales higher via powerscaling)

*: 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.
Intelligence: At least Above Average. Ulquiorra is an incredibly skilled swordsman and hand-to-hand combatant, striking with lethal precision in combat. He is very perceptive and capable of analyzing his opponents accurately and calmly even when in the midst of combat, quickly deducing an opponent's skills and abilities and figuring out their strengths and weaknesses, so that he can best exploit them. His intelligence and insight are such that Aizen respects him for them, and sent him to determine Ichigo's power and threat level.
Weaknesses: Ulquiorra has difficulty controlling Lanza del Relámpago's trajectory.

*: 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.
**: 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.
**: 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.
*: An Arrancar ability similar to Cero, except it's weaker and 20 times faster.
* 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. Ulquiorra can use multiple Garganta as screens to show other locations.
*: 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.
*: An ability possessed by most Hollows, which allows them to rapidly recover from wounds. Abandoned by most Hollow and Arrancar in favor of more power, Ulquiorra has retained his regenerative ability, which is enough to quickly heal lost limbs and his lost eyes, but it cannot regenerate his brain and other internal organs.
*: A perception technique used by Arrancar, which sends out a pulse that detects nearby sources of Reiatsu and gauging their power. Ulquiorra is particularly skilled in the use of this technique, allowing him to instantly determine how powerful an opponent is with a single glance and comprehend the flow of their energy.
*: Ulquiorra can replay events he has seen for others by removing and crushing his eye, which turns to dust and flows around those he wishes to share the vision with, relaying his sight and feelings.
*: 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.

* The Arrancar equivalent of a Shikai/Bankai, this form allows an Arrancar to unleash their true power as a Hollow. Ulquiorra's Resurrección is named Murciélago. It's release command is Enclose, and, when released, Ulquiorra grows a pair of large bat wings and his Hollow mask grows into a helmet with two horns, Ulquiorra can use these wings for flight. His physicals are greatly enhanced as well as the addition of new abilities
** Ulquiorra can manifest javelins from his own energy, using them either as incredibly powerful projectiles or as a melee weapon in close quarters combat.
**: Uniquely among all the Espada, Ulquiorra has reached a second released state, which renders him even more powerful than before, shedding his robe to reveal his slender, pale torso while his arms and legs are covered in thick, black fur. He grows a long, whip-like tail, and his mask disappears, leaving him with a pair of large, bat-like ears.
***: In his second released state, Ulquiorra can create an even more powerful javelin from his own energy, using it as both a projectile and melee weapon. When thrown, it causes an immense explosion capable of dwarfing Las Noches, and he can throw his javelins in quick succession, though he lacks accuracy and has difficulty controlling their trajectories.
*** Ulquiorra can use his incredibly long tail as a whip, and can lift, throw, and strangle his opponents with it.
