Up until his tail was cut off, Vegeta could turn into a gigantic monkey-like creature called an {{nihongo|''Ōzaru''|大猿||lit.

Vegeta is known to give names for his various energy attacks. In his early appearance, Vegeta is seen to use attacks similar to several of the protagonists of the series, such as a {{nihongo|Destructo Disc|気円斬|Kienzan|lit. Ki Disk Razor}}, a laser-like disk capable of cutting through solid objects, and a ki wave similar to Goku's ''Kamehameha''. One of his better known attacks is the {{nihongo|''Galick Gun''|ギャリック砲|Gyarikku Hō}}, although he uses it only once in the ''Z'' series proper; during his battle against Goku in an attempt to destroy the Earth.<ref name="destroyplanetanime2"/><ref name="firstvj"/> He later develops the {{nihongo|''Big Bang Attack''|ビッグ・バン・アタック|Biggu Ban Atakku}}<ref name="bigbangattack">{{cite book|last1=Toriyama|first1=Akira|author-link= Akira Toriyama|title=[[Dragon Ball (manga)|Dragon Ball]]|volume=29|chapter=344: うろたえる人造人間|date=March 10, 1992|publisher=[[Shueisha]]|language=ja|isbn=4-08-851419-X}}</ref><ref name="bigbanganime">{{Cite episode |title=２０号の不敵な笑い…ドクターゲロの秘密|trans-title=No. 20s Defiant Smile… The Secret of Doctor Gero|episode-link=List_of_Dragon Ball Z episodes|series= Dragon Ball Z|series-link=Dragon Ball Z|language= ja|date=March 4, 1992|publisher= [[Toei Animation]]|location= Japan|station= [[Fuji TV]] |number= 130}}</ref> and the {{nihongo|''Final Flash''|ファイナルフラッシュ|Fainaru Furasshu}}<ref name="finalflash">{{cite book|last1=Toriyama|first1=Akira|author-link= Akira Toriyama|title=[[Dragon Ball (manga)|Dragon Ball]]|volume=32|chapter=384: ベジータ、執念の秘策|date=October 2, 1992|publisher=[[Shueisha]]|language=ja|isbn=4-08-851687-7}}</ref><ref name="finalflashanime">{{Cite episode |title=超サイヤ人の限界突破!!嵐を呼ぶトランクス|trans-title=Breaking Through the Boundaries of the Super Saiyan!!

One of Vegeta's most commonly used tactics in the series is when he bombards an opponent with an array of small ''ki'' blasts. He is not known to have an official name for this attack, but it is occasionally called {{nihongo|''Rapid-Fire Energy Balls''|連続エネルギー弾|Renzoku Enerugī Dan}}. Later on in the franchise, he develops an even more powerful version of his ''Final Flash'' attack, called {{nihongo|''Gamma Burst Flash''|ガンマバーストフラッシュ|Ganma Bāsuto Furasshu}}. In ''Dragon Ball GT'', Vegeta displays a powerful new attack, entitling it the {{nihongo|''Final Shine Attack''|ファイナルシャインアタック|Fainaru Shain Atakku}}, where he uses his left hand to fire off a massive beam of green ''ki'' that widens with distance.<ref name="finalshine">{{Cite episode |title=究極の人造人間!二人の17号合体|trans-title=The Ultimate Android!

Vegeta also possesses several transformations that greatly enhance his abilities to varying degrees. Though he lost his Great Ape form, he gains the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan and, through training, can further transform into advanced states of Super Saiyan as the series continues.<ref name="ssvegeta">{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 1991 | volume = 29| isbn = 1-56931-986-3}}</ref><ref name="vegeta32">{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 1992 | volume = 32 | isbn = 1-59116-328-5}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 1994 | volume = 39 | isbn = 1-4215-0148-1}}</ref> Vegeta later achieved the immensely powerful {{nihongo|Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan|超サイヤ人ゴッドSS（スーパーサイヤ人ゴッドスーパーサイヤ人）|Sūpā Saiya-jin Goddo Sūpā Saiya-jin}}, "Super Saiyan Blue" for short, under Whis's tutelage. It is later revealed that he now has access to the red-haired {{nihongo|Super Saiyan God|超スーパーサイヤ人じんゴッド|Sūpā Saiya-jin Goddo}} form, originally obtained by Goku, most notably during his fight against Broly.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Outlaw|first1=Kofi|title='Dragon Ball Super' Reveals Best Look Yet at SSG Vegeta|url=https://comicbook.com/anime/news/dragon-ball-super-broly-trailer-3-vegeta-super-saiyan-god/|website=Comic Book|date=November 7, 2018 |access-date=November 7, 2018|archive-date=January 5, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240105145011/https://comicbook.com/anime/amp/news/dragon-ball-super-broly-trailer-3-vegeta-super-saiyan-god/|url-status=live}}</ref>

During his fight with Jiren, a mortal stronger than a destroyer, Vegeta unlocks an enhanced version of the Super Saiyan Blue form, evolving his transformation by breaking his limits by his own accord.<ref>{{cite episode|title=Body, Soul and Power Unleashed!

During the "Granolah the Survivor" arc of the manga, Vegeta trains under Beerus to master the God of Destruction's power of {{nihongo|''Hakai''|破壊||lit: "destruction"}}. This training eventually culminates in Vegeta acquiring a form that he labels {{nihongo|''Ultra Ego''|我儘わがままの極意ごくい|Wagamama no Goku'i|lit. "Secret of self-indulgence"}}, elevating him to be as powerful as Goku's completed ''Ultra Instinct''.<ref name="Toriyama 2022"/><ref>{{cite web|last1=Peters|first1=Megan|title=Dragon Ball Super Reveals Official Name of Vegeta's New Form|url=http://comicbook.com/anime/news/dragon-ball-super-manga-75-ultra-ego-vegeta/|website=Comic Book|date=August 18, 2021 |access-date=January 7, 2024|archive-date=January 8, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240108014137/https://comicbook.com/anime/news/dragon-ball-super-manga-75-ultra-ego-vegeta/|url-status=live}}</ref> The ''Ultra Ego'' state allows Vegeta to become more powerful as he takes more damage.

Vegeta can also fuse with Goku and create a warrior who has the combined power and skills of both. One method is by using the ''Potara'' earrings, presented to Goku by the [[Kibitoshin|Old Kaiō-shin]]. This results in a 'potara fusion' creating {{nihongo|Vegito|ベジット|Bejitto|"Vegerot" in [[Viz Media]]'s manga translation}}, who, in his reappearance in ''Dragon Ball Super'', can also transform into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. The other method is by performing the 'Metamorese Fusion Dance', which creates {{nihongo|Gogeta|ゴジータ|Gojīta}}.
