Goten/Power and Abilities

==Power==
;Manga and Anime
Goten is quite powerful due to being trained by his mother and brother the first few years of his life, to the extent where he attained his Super Saiyan transformation much earlier than his brother and father. Goten's strength as a Super Saiyan was such that when he sparred with a Super Saiyan Gohan, he was able to give the latter a little trouble, with an astonished Gohan remarking just how strong the boy was. Later on, Piccolo was also taken aback at Goten and Trunks power when witnessing them turning Super Saiyan.
Compared to Trunks, Goten was slightly weaker, admitted by Goten himself and noted by Goku when he was teaching them the fusion technique and told Trunks to lower his ki a little to match Goten's. This was partly due to the fact that Trunks is one year older and naturally exhibited a little more strength as a result. After training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Piccolo had stated that both he and Trunks had gained immense strength and that their power levels were exactly equal.
In Dragon Ball Super, Goten seldomly fights without Trunks at his side and they usually fuse into Gotenks. Like Trunks, Goten is kept out of the battles due to his style of charging in headfirst without thinking. While still incredibly powerful for his age his power isn't enough to face any major threat. Both Goten and Trunks stopped training but started to again after learning about the Tournament of Power. Shin mentioned and recommended Goten as a possible fighter for Universe 7 in the Tournament of Power sighting his power and young age but Goku turned him down citing he is too reckless as to is Trunks. Super Saiyan Goten was able to hold off multiple Cell Juniors at once, though he appeared to be at a disadvantage.
In the second portion of the Super Hero Saga, Goten and Trunks have not trained in six months, however as Super Saiyans they prove able to fight the just-awakened Cell Max alongside the Gamma Androids, who are impressed by their performance against the giant, however once Cell Max's power builds further he quickly overpowers the four.
During the ten-year gap between the Kid Buu Saga and the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament, Goten began slacking in his disciplinary training as a result of the times of peace.Daizenshuu 2, 1995
In Dragon Ball GT, by the Baby Saga Goten has grown more powerful. When Baby attacks the Earth, he is strong enough to take him on, though even when Goten used a Kamehameha, he was unable to eliminate Baby - allowing the Tuffle to take over his body. Super Saiyan Baby Goten is able to fight on par with base Gohan and forces him to turn Super Saiyan by powering up and using an explosive wave. Super Saiyan Infected Gohan is at a disadvantage against base Goku and is beaten back. In the English dub, it is noted by Baby Vegeta that Uub is more powerful than the Infected Gohan, Goten and Trunks combined.
In the Super 17 Saga, in his base form, Goten is able to easily dodge Pui Pui's energy blasts and defeats him with a single kick, however he is caught off guard immediately afterward by Yakon and sweats as the Demon Beast towers over him, though he is saved by Trunks he claims he would have been able to take on Yakon by himself. Goten and Trunks together are able to destroy Android 19 by catching him off guard with a combined energy blast.
;Films
In Dragon Ball Z: Broly - Second Coming, 
In Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly, Goten easily handles the Bio-Warriors alongside Trunks and Android 18 without having to transform. When facing Bio-Broly, Goten and Trunks are forced into Super Saiyan to combat the behemoth. While they are initially outmatched, Goten manages to fight an even battle by improving his coordination with Trunks, even gaining a momentary edge over Bio-Broly until he is forced to abandon the fight to save Mr. Satan. Despite an injury to his shoulder, Goten fights another even battle with Bio-Broly on his own, likely thanks to his anger over Trunks being hurt (though Goten's shoulder damage eventually proves too much for him and he is eventually knocked unconscious).
In Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, 
In Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon, 
;OVAs
In Dragon Ball: The Return of Son Goku and Friends!, Goten and Trunks (in their base forms) were able to take on Abo and Kado, who are on the same rank as the Ginyu Force and when arriving on Earth they are as strong as Frieza. When his and Trunks' Power Levels were read by the duo's Scouters, they each gave off a six-digit reading (while relaxed), suggesting that their battle power in base was at least 100,000.
;Video games
In Dragon Ball Online, inspired by Gohan's book Groundbreaking Science, in Age 805 Goten along with his best friend Trunks became the founders of the Kikoukenjutsu Sword Style and through intense training Goten developed his natural potential as a master swordsman alongside Trunks, leading to the foundation of the Kikoukenjutsu Sword School. In Age 820, at the age of 53, both he and Trunks used their school's kenjutsu to defeat an army of Jigglers during an invasion of Earth by the remnants of the Frieza Force following the death of Mr. Satan.
;Statements by authors and guidebooks
The Daizenshuu states that Goten's power was not the least bit inferior to Gohan's.
According to The Legendary Manga, during the Buu Saga, Goten is stronger than Frieza was.The Legendary Manga Issue 41, page 18.
In the Universe Survival Saga, Goten and Trunks were both implied, as Super Saiyans, to be stronger than Krillin and Master Roshi.

Techniques
*Flight – The ability to fly through the use of ki.
*Ki Blast – The most basic form of energy wave.
*Ki Sense – An ability that allows the user to sense ki and power levels.
*Stone Bullet – The user throws a rock that can only be used in point-blank range.
*Kamehameha – A powerful Ki blast fired with two hands after concentrating a large amount of Ki.
**Kamekameha – When Goten uses this attack, it creates an energy wave like the normal Kamehameha, but the only difference is that it loses direction and flies anywhere. This is presumably because Goten has not learned to control the direction of his energy attacks.
**Super Kamehameha – An advanced and more powerful version of the Kamehameha.
***Super Kamekameha – When Goten uses this attack, he shouts, "How'd you like this?" or "Now I'm mad!". He then charges the attack like a regular Kamehameha and releases it, dealing significant damage to his opponent.
**Multiple Kamehameha - Two or more fighters fire multiple Kamehamehas (one per fighter) simultaneously at a single point. This usually causes their separate Kamehamehas to merge into one giant Kamehameha blast at the opponent.
***Bros. Kamehameha – When performing it, Gohan and Goten each prepare their Kamehameha attacks. Then, they fire them simultaneously so that the two energy waves merge into one large Kamehameha blast. When this is not enough to defeat the opponent, Gohan and Goten put more power into the attack, overpowering the opponent and inflicting a great deal of damage.
***Family Kamehameha – Gohan and Goten fire a combined Kamehameha at the opponent, who struggles against the attack. With the Dragon Balls in place, Goten wishes Goku was there. Thus, the spirit of their father Goku descends beside his two sons and transforms into his Super Saiyan form. Finally, Goku fires his Kamehameha as he, Gohan and Goten charge more power into the combined attack, overpowering the opponent and inflicting a huge amount of damage.
****Perfect Parental Bond Unit - A Super Attack Unit used by Super Saiyan 4 Goku, Gohan (GT), and Goten (GT) in Dragon Ball Heroes.
**God Kamehameha - A powerful version of the Kamehameha usable by Super Saiyan Goten in Dragon Ball Heroes as of GDM7.
*Assault! – First, Goten charges at the opponent and punches them away. Then, he flies up into the air and charges down at the opponent head-first at top speed. When the opponent dodges, Goten blasts the ground with an energy sphere to propel himself towards the opponent's direction to knock them away with a headbutt, using his falling speed to inflict severe damage.
*Full Power Energy Blast Volley – The user fires flurries of large, bright Ki Blasts that is more powerful than the average energy volley. It is useful for quick, effective, as well as causing massive accumulations of damage to the foes. The difference with the Full Power Energy Barrage Wave is that the user does not move his hands while firing it. The waves themselves just chase the opponent.
*Fusion Dance – A short series of poses that are performed by two characters of equal power levels and roughly equal size. To correctly perform the Fusion, the fusees must strike the poses in a perfectly symmetrical image of one another. The result of a correctly performed Fusion Dance is a superior being whose power is multiplied several-fold over that of the individual fusees. If the dance is performed incorrectly, it will result in an obese or skinny character who is much weaker than either fusee individually.
*High Tension Turn - The user performs a backflip then suddenly charges forward to deliver a charging punch.

*Super Explosive Wave – The user stands charging energy around their body, then they explode with a gigantic energy sphere around their body. If the foe comes in contact with the Super Explosive Wave, it will deal much greater damage than the normal Explosive Wave. It can also be used for defense and offense at the very same time. The larger the user or the more ki they have, the wider and more enhanced it will become.

Forms and Transformations
;Super Saiyan
Goten gains the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan at a very young age and is the youngest known Super Saiyan. He could even transform before learning how to fly. He is first shown in the form while training with his mother. Unlike his brother and father, Goten was instinctively able to manifest this form without any extreme emotional distress nor dire need, so much so that he didn't even realize the change until Chi-Chi pointed it out. To which, he quickly mastered the form. This reduces his emotional build-up and energy consumption while in said form to near-nothing and can therefor maintain it for as long as desired without any strain on his body.
;Mighty Mask
Not an actual form, Mighty Mask is Goten and Trunks working together whilst wearing the costume of the fighter Mighty Mask. This "form" is playable in Dragon Ball Heroes in both base and Super Saiyan. In Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle, he is playable in his base.
;Mini (Daima)
;Mini
With the Earth's Dragon Balls, Gomah wishes for everyone who fought Majin Buu to turn into children and babies in the beginning of Dragon Ball Daima. In this state, he is known as Goten (Mini) and is in the form of a baby. While in this state, Goten is able to telepathically communicate with Mini Trunks.
;Saiyaman X-2
Saiyaman X-2 is Goten's transformation alter ego.
;Infected
During the events of Dragon Ball GT, Goten is possessed by Baby, and then later by a regular Tuffle parasite. While his appearance remains virtually unchanged, in this state, Goten generally has much sterner looking eyes. This state of Goten makes its debut for the first time as a playable character in Dragon Ball Heroes, as both base and Super Saiyan forms. He is also playable in Dokkan Battle, in his base and Super Saiyan forms. 
In World Mission, his Baby possessed base form is localized as Goten (GT, Baby Infestation) and his possessed Super Saiyan form is localized as Goten (GT, Baby Infestation, Super Saiyan). In both forms, he is depicted with glowing red eyes.
;Saiyaman-like Costume
In Dragon Ball Online, the 53-year-old Goten dons a Saiyaman-like costume to hide his identity while combating the remnants of the Frieza Force that invade Earth in Age 820 after the death of Mr. Satan. 
|-|Fusions=
Fusions
;Gotenks
Gotenks is the fusion created when Goten and Trunks perform the fusion dance. Gotenks' power far surpasses either of the fighters' individual strengths other than Gohan and Goku. He attains the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 3 forms. Goten and Trunks are capable of fusing into Gotenks within 0.05 seconds.Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, 2006 They use the technique several times as kids. As young adults, in Dragon Ball GT, Goten and Trunks are tempted to fuse into Gotenks to try and help their fathers but are told not to by Gohan. The Fused Warrior Gotenks shares both Goten and Trunks' playfulness as well as their special attacks and new moves that Goten and Trunks do not have, such as Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack as well as Galactic Donut or Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball. The Adult version of Gotenks featured in Dragon Ball Heroes has a new Super Attack called Burning Kamehameha.
;Incorrect Style Fusions
The Incorrect Style Fusions of Goten and Trunks are the result of Goten and Trunks incorrectly performing the Fusion Dance which resulted in the creation of two failed versions of Gotenks that are considerably weaker than their fused counterparts individually. The first failed version of Gotenks is a fat Gotenks who was created when Trunks extends his finger at the last minute when he and Goten say, "-sion!" while the second failed version of Gotenks, which is a skinny Gotenks, is created as a result of a lack of coordination between Goten and Trunks as when they both say "HAAH", their fingers do not meet each other correctly.
;EX Gotenks
The EX-Fusion of Goten and Trunks and EX-Fusion counterpart of Gotenks introduced in Dragon Ball Fusions. Though he is not as powerful as his fusion dance counterpart, EX Gotenks has the advantage of being able to remain fused for as long as he wants and can defuse at will by removing his Metamo-Ring.
;Ultra Fusion
In Dragon Ball Fusions, Goten, Trunks, Pan, Kid Goku, and Tekka learn Five-Way Fusion from the Ginyu Force which allows the five of them to fuse together to create an Ultra Fusion, which will have the voice, race (Saiyan, Earthling, Alien, Offworlder, or Namekian), and gender of the person who initiates it. If initiated by Goten, Trunks, or Male Earthling Tekka the resulting Ultra Fusion will be a Male Earthling. If initiated by Pan or Female Earthling Tekka, then the resulting Ultra Fusion will be a Female Earthling. If initiated by Goku or a Saiyan Male Tekka, then the Ultra Fusion will be a male Saiyan. Though powerful, Ultra Fusion lasts for only a short period of time before defusing.

Equipment
;Flying Nimbus
Before learning how to fly, Goten was forced to use his father's Flying Nimbus which Gohan had inherited after their father's death and later passed it down to Goten. However, Goten eventually stopped using it after learning Flight from Gohan. Years later, Goten would use Nimbus again while in high school like Gohan used to.
;Saiyaman X Watch
A device used to instantly change into the Saiyaman X Suit.
;Metamo-Ring
A device developed by the Capsule Corporation that allows two people to perform EX-Fusion. Both fusee wear a Metamo-Ring on their arm and perform the Fusion Dance, resulting in an EX-Fusion. While weaker than Metamoran Fusion, as long as the EX-Fusion continues to wear the Metamo-Ring (created by the two Metamo-Ring's fusing together), the EX Fusion will remain fused and can defuse anytime by removing the Metamo-Ring.
