The current list of powers Kusuo has displayed thus far cited from WIKI: The (+) are from before chapter 206 came out, where the author asked readers to send in fan letters with the most useless ESP powers they could think ofthe abilities that Fans came up with that I think will be useful or might be used in my story.
Anyone can use this list!
Main Abilities
Apport–power to pull something from somewhere else and have it appear before you.
–Transaction of Apport– teleported needs to be exchanged using Apport with something of exactly equal value or within a 10% difference. The ability to recreate picture perfect photos just by thinking it.
Astral Projection– power to separate his/someone else spirit from their body.
Clairvoyance–Without having to move, this power allows Kusuo to view objects or people anywhere he has been unobstructed by crossing his eyes. +Kusuo can magnify distant objects in his vision so he can see them clearly.
Full Force Without any precaution, Kusuo's power increases every time he attacks.
Perspective– Visual ability to see through objects. The permeability to view through things increases every seconds: 3 seconds the clothes and 5 seconds the skin. This is one of Kusuo's ability that he can't control. When the limiter is removed, Kusuo can only see the bones. (Linked w/ X-Ray)
Petrification–power to turn a living being to stone by looking them in the eye. This happens automatically unless he is wearing his glasses. It takes a full 24 hrs for an affected being to turn back to normal. Ability that he can't control and one of the few not to be affected by his limiter.
Possession–Kusuo taking over someone's body by switching his spirit with theirs.
Precognition–power to see events that will occur before they actually happen, usually accompanied by a headache. This can happen when he is asleep. Kusuo has no control over his ability and can misinterpret or even cause what happens.
Psychokonisis/Telekinisis–bringing forth a physical energy just by thinking it, which you can use to do things like move or break objects. It's one of his most commonly used powers. –Limit Released Psychokinesis–ability to create a ball of energy in the air. It's power was able to destroy a whole island.
Restoration–power to revert a person or object, and everything it touches, by 24 hours with the restriction of reviving the dead and undoing petrification. May only be used once a day per a target.
Size Augumentation/Shrinking Power– power to shrink down his body to small sizes. It takes 1 hour to return to normal size. Later it's revealed that he also has the power to grow huge, but it's basically useless. Shrinking = fast, growing = slow.
Super Strength– extreme strength, beyond what is believed to be normal. It is easily one of the powers he has the least control over, though he has gotten better at throwing balls at a human levels
Telepathy– ability that is used the most, due to the mode of Kusuo's communication. The power to read and talk through minds. It works on humans and animals, but Kusuo can't turn it off. It doesn't work on an idiot like Riki or bugs.
Teleportation– to send back himself and something he touches to a faraway place but he can only teleport once before needing to wait three minutes until he can use it again. He can do it on impuse, like when he sees a bug.
Time Travel/Time Loops–to escape the flow of time by jumping to either the past or future. It also activates itself randomly, getting Kusuo stuck in a loop, and the only way to get time to go back to normal is for him to completely empty his mind of all thoughts.
Transformation– physically transforming his body into anything –takes 2 hours to fully transform, when he takes on a non-human form, it's hard for him to control his physical strength.
X-Ray– ower to see through things you normally couldn't like underside of a face-down card, or the contents of an airtight box. This ability cannot be switched off allowing to have regular vision for only 5 seconds before things become increasingly transparent. Because of this he often sees through the skin of other organisms and views their muscular and skeletal systems making other humans and living creatures unattractive. The ability is reset whenever he blinks or closes his eyes. (Linked w/ perspective)
+Ability to tie a knot in a cherry stem using his tongue
Main Side Abilities
Cryokonisis– ability that allows a person to create and control ice with their mind.
Hydrokonisis–to freely use water or create water. Used to make Saiki appear as if he is sweating when he exorcises. +Evaporation of almost all the water from any living thing +Sweating–to secrete sweats freely. Kusuo uses it to cover up his body that doesn't easily tires out.
Hypnosis–Kusuo uses this power to disguise other people
Immediate Telepathy–giving others visual information with audio via touch.
Invisibility–power to turn himself invisible for 10 minutes. It is canceled if someone touches him while he's in that state. When the time runs out, or if someone touches him, he has to wait 1 minute before turning invisible again. (Note: Toritsuka is immune to this ability)
Flight
Forced Telepathy–forcefull relay feelings/thoughts from one to another.
Foreboding– telepathy to plant an idea/sense of foreboding in someone's head.
Memory Alteration–Delivering a strong impact to someone's head to eliminate the desired memory. In the anime a wacky yellow bat resembling TV Tokyo's mascot must be used. In the manga anything that causes an impact (ex: crowbar) may be used.
Mind Control The power to influence the minds of every single person on the planet - this can even change the laws of nature and human ecology itself, making it one of his most powerful abilities. Kusuo also considers it his most dangerous power as he could wipe out humanity with a single thought.
Memory Supplementation– drawback of this power as Kusuo uses restoration on the brain of the person, the memory is filled with a random different memory on each person.

Psycho Bit One of the main techniques Kusuo uses which allows him to move multiple rocks and inflicts damages to someone regardless of his/her distance.

Weaknesses
Allergies: Saiki's powers are affected by allergies and will cause stuff to blow up when he sneezes. He also has no way of curing allergies with his powers.
Bedpsyching: The ability to use psychic abilities while sleeping. This abilities were one of Kusuo's problems before when he still haven't got any control devices. According to Kurumi, his bed psyching continued until 4th grade. Though it will come back if someone removes his control device while he's sleeping.
Fear of Bugs: Because of his inability to read their minds Saiki finds bugs disturbing creatures.
Uncontrollable Powers: When the limiter devices on his head are removed, even for a second, Kusuo himself is knocked unconscious and even after waking up, he is unable to control the muscles in his entire body. Worse, his mind control powers are not controllable either. He states that his powers will wreak havoc onto the entire world and cannot be stopped by even him.
It should be noted that there are times where Kusuo himself is shown to remove his limiter devices in order to use some of his more powerful powers, but he is not shown suffering afterwards from any of the setbacks mentioned above.
One such time was when he used mind control to make it so that PK Academy students can work part-time jobs. He also had one limiter device removed at the beach by Teruhashi while he was asleep, but was able to fix the trouble his Bedpsyching caused, seemingly moving properly without issue even before he got the limiter device back. As Kusuo is shown to be able to use repetitive practice/training in order to learn to be able to control his excessive capabilities (like his ability to throw balls that exceed sonic speed), it can be assumed that if he trains hard enough, he might become able to control his powers better as well.
Unfortunately, it can also be easily assumed that he relies on his Control Devices instead because the world will be destroyed by his powers first before he can master their control through repeated practice. A proof of this case is when he took more than 16,000 tries to master using his powers (at a limited state) while his mind is empty, due to being stuck in a looping time leap during one of his usual days.
+Despite being a Psychic Saiki is not capable of predicting human thoughts or knowing something they themselves are not aware of (the exeption being if they are heavily in deniel.)
Psychic Objects
Colored Glasses: glasses Kusuo uses to stop his eyes from petrifying people he sees. When Kusuo transforms into other life forms, his glasses turns into mask, helmet or visor.
Control Devices: Devices used to take control of Kusuo's psychic powers. The devices were first made by Kusuke when Kusuo was still a 5th grade student. It's original shape would be an antennae but it is referred as a "hairpin" due to Kusuo's hypnotic powers. When the device is removed, Kusuo's full psychic power goes out of control and multiplies by the amount of time his powers were limited. Removing his limiters were shown to depict the world destruction. When the control devices were reinstalled, it would take time before his powers stabilizes. The control devices cannot stop the growth of Kusuo's power and before the device was used by Kusuo, he said his current limited power matches when he was just five years old.
Germanium: An element that makes Kusuo unable to use his telepathic powers when in contact with it. However, due to this he is unable to react ahead of time to peoples actions. This is shown when he wears a germanium ring that was left by a salesman. As soon as he wore the ring in public he was instantly unsettled and considered everyone around him a Nendou-like being while wondering how "regular" people were able to walk around without knowing if the person next to them was a murderer.
Gloves: Kusuo always wears a pair of very thin gloves that are invisible to the naked eye. These gloves are used to seal his Psychometry, which cannot be turned off.
