*Scouter: The Scouter can be used for the following: communicate with other Scouters near or as far as deep outer space, detect power level, location, distance, and velocity.
*Space Pod: This space pod has capabilities of space travel. Also, it has a life support system.
*Battle Armour: This armour is impact resistant. Should Raditz decide to transform into an Oozaru, his armour will expand along with him.
Intelligence: Gifted (A capable and tactically sound fighter, serving under Frieza as a mid-class Saiyan warrior. effortlessly showcased his superior abilities to both Beginning of Z Goku and Piccolo, individually and once they were together)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Ki Attacks=
Ki: The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers.
*Double Sunday: is a double chargeable energy attack, which comes from Raditz's both hands to release a powerful energy wave. This attack disintegrated Piccolo's left arm.
*Saturday Crush: Raditz raises his arm and throws a powerful Ki attack. Raditz uses this after Goku attacks him with the full-powered Kamehameha.

|-|Saiyan Physiology= 
The physiology of a Saiyan: an aggressive warrior race of conquerors. Saiyans have the natural ability to control Ki and fly. Although his lifespan is comparable to a human, Raditz will remain at his peak strength for much longer. One of the most powerful abilities of a Saiyan is their ability to grow stronger and stronger through combat, allowing Raditz to constantly push his limits during a fight and rise to higher and higher peaks in power. This ability grants a substantial boost in power when Raditz is badly injured, allowing him to reach a higher power level once he recovers.
*Oozaru: A transformation into a giant ape that takes place under a full moon. Increases his speed, strength, and hearing ten-fold. He's never turned into an Oozaru before, but since he has a tail he likely can.
