Expert Swordsman:Although he usually prefers hand to hand combat Grimmjow is highly skilled in wielding his Zanpakuto . He was able to hold his own against Ichigo who was enhanced by his bankai and hollow mask with only one arm and briefly held his own against a hollow mask enhanced Shinji Hirako before being overpowered .In his third fight and with both arms Grimmjow was able to match Ichigo in battle.

Hierro: Grimmjow,s Hierro is strong enough to easily block the edge of a released Shikai with his bare hand . He demonstrated the true density of his skin by being able to grab Ichigo's Bankai with his bare hand and receive no damage with only the Getsuga Tenshou proving powerful enough to injure Grimmjow and even then he was still able to stand and fight despite the injury. Grimmjow was able to survive a point blank Getsuga Tenshou (though he was grievously injured) and immediately afterwards withstand being frozen by Rukia's Shikai noting simply freezing the top layer of his skin wouldn't be enough to kill him. Grimmjow also survived being hit by Shinji,s Cero and was still willing to continue fighting.
Enhanced strength: Grimmjow possesses great physical strength as he was able to easily push back and overpower a Bankai enhanced Ichigo in their first encounter and throw him a considerable distance with one hand. His kicks are strong enough to send an opponent flying several miles away and destroying buildings in the surrounding area. Grimmjow,s punches are powerful enough to create large shockwaves with the force of his strikes and he easily impaled Rukia Kuchiki with his bare hand despite Rukia,s considerable durability .

Grimmjow was able to effortlessly pierce through Luppi,s chest despite his hierro . In his final battle with Ichigo Grimmjow proved strong enough to match Ichigo's Bankai enhanced strength.
Great Spiritual Power: As the 6th Espada Grimmjow possesses a great deal of spiritual energy which is roughly on par with a captain level Shinigami . Rukia described Grimmjow,s Spiritual pressure as being worlds apart from his fracciones and wondered if he was even the same species .Grimmjow has been shown to be among the most powerful Espada only being surpassed by the top 5 Espada . His reiatsu is dark blue in color.
Highly perceptive combatant: Despite his rather hot tempered and brutish personality Grimmjow is a surprisingly smart analytical fighter. He was able to discern from simple observation that Ichigo's Bankai enhanced Getsuga Tenshou was causing damage to his body and correctly deduced that Ichigo could only use the technique 2 or 3 more times at best. During his second fight with Ichigo Grimmjow deduced that Ichigo's Hollow mask was straining his body because of how heavy his breathing was after the masks removal though he noted that it may not be as simple as that denoting that it may have been caused by the amount of damage he endured or that there is a limit to how long he can use the mask. In his final battle with Ichigo Grimmjow immediately noticed that Ichigo was now able to use his mask for a much longer period of time.
Cero: Grimmjow is capable of firing a cero from either the palm of his hand or his fist even at the same time. Grimmjow,s cero is powerful enough that at point blank range it was able to completely obliterate Luppi Antenor,s upper body. His cero is powerful enough that it can counter Ulquiorra's Cero though it badly burned his arm up to the elbow.
Gran Rey Cero: As an Espada Grimmjow is capable of utilizing This Espada exclusive Cero Variant which produces a larger and much more powerful Cero than the standard version. This Cero is strong enough that it can potentially destroy Las Noches itself. For this reason Aizen forbade the use of the Gran Ray Cero inside the fortress though Grimmjow ignored this during his final battle with Ichigo.
Descorrer: A technique used by Espada level Arrancar and those affiliated with them to open a garganta between Hueco Mundo and the Human World . Grimmjow demonstrated this ability during his personal invasion of Karakura Town.
Sonido Master: Grimmjow is very proficient in the use of sonido being regarded as one of the fastest members of the Espada with only Ulquiorra Harribell Starrk and Zommari surpassing him in this regard. Even in his unreleased state Grimmjow is fast enough that he was able to surprise and overwhelm Ichigo's Bankai Enhanced speed with ease in their first battle with Ichigo being unable to react to or counter Grimmjow . Grimmjow,s Sonido was fast enough that he managed to keep up with Ichigo's hollow mask enhanced speed as well as dodge and counter attacks from a hollow mask enhanced Shinji (Though he did so with great difficulty). He was able to keep pace with Ichigo,s speed for the majority of their third fight.

Enhanced Hierro: Grimmjow,s Hierro receives a considerable ability allowing him to withstand a hollow mask enhanced Getsuga Tenshou from Ichigo Kurosaki without any injury as well as sustain repeated sword strikes from Ichigo with little damage though Ichigo was eventually able to cut through Grimmjow,s Hierro demonstrating that Grimmjow,s Hierro while much more powerful in his Resurreccion he can still be injured by sufficiently powerful attacks.
Enhanced Strength: Grimmjow,s strikes possess sufficient power to accidentally destroy Skyscraper sized pillars in Las Noches via the collateral damage of his final fight with Ichigo.

- Desgarron (豹王の爪 (デスガロン), desugaron; Spanish for "Laceration/Great Tear", Japanese for "Panther King's Claw"): Claimed by Grimmjow himself to be his strongest attack. His claws glow, and he makes a slashing motion. Each claw becomes a long, sharp blade composed of Reishi that can be hurled at the enemy. He can swing a maximum of ten blades at the enemy.

The power and force behind them is considerable, and Ichigo was only able to deflect and shatter them through sheer force of will.
