When it was introduced in the Tournament of Power, Ultra Instinct quickly cemented itself as the most interesting and powerful transformation that has ever been shown in Dragon Ball. Introduced as the signature technique of the Angels, Goku became the first mortal to call it his own, though his version was far weaker than what the Angels enjoy.
As such, the Dragon Ball Super manga subsequently revealed that there are levels of accuracy with this technique, and that, at the current moment, Goku is merely at the bottom rung of the ladder. So, in this article, let's go over the many transformations in the series that are stronger than Goku's Ultra Instinct.
Dragon Ball: 6 Techniques Stronger Than Goku’s Kamehameha
Although the Kamehameha is the most iconic technique in the series, there are many attacks stronger than it.
Ultra Ego Is The Technique Of The Destroyer Gods
Users: Vegeta, All Destroyer Gods
Where Ultra Instinct exists as the greatest defensive form in the entire multiverse, Ultra Ego acts as its perfect mirror and the most powerful offensive form in all of Dragon Ball. This is the innate technique of the Destroyer Gods as it allows them to house and utilize the Energy of Destruction, which can erase anything it comes into contact with from existence.

In the Granolah arc, Vegeta was shown to unlock this powerful state as his own way to reach the upper levels of strength. However, Ultra Ego was actually stronger than Ultra Instinct in its first showing, as it managed to perform way better against Granolah, requiring the foe to transform himself to truly match it. However, it is quite unrefined at the moment, so it's less reliable than Ultra Instinct.

The Beast Form Brought Its User Up To The Strongest Level
User: Gohan
In one of the most contentious and contested debates in the entire Dragon Ball community, many believe that Gohan Beast is even stronger than Ultra Instinct Goku. The main reason for this comes from the Super Hero arc, where Gohan first stated that he wasn't sure if Goku or Vegeta could have defeated Cell Max.
After that, Chapter 103 showed Goku and Gohan sparring against one another, where the whole fight was fairly equal until one notable moment where Gohan powered up to the point where his speed superseded Ultra Instinct's auto-dodge capabilities, allowing him to knock his father out of the form for a while. Although the probable answer places them as equals, some think Gohan Beast is stronger.

Every arc of Dragon Ball has many powerful characters, but there is always one who stands above the rest.
The Second Red-Eye Form Overpowered Ultra Ego
User: Granolah
Upon becoming the strongest mortal in the entirety of Universe 7 following his wish with the Cerealian Dragon Balls, Granolah's power was far above anything that the heroes could manage at that moment, even Ultra Instinct Goku. This was proven when he managed to outspeed Goku and knock him out of the form with a single hit.
However, Granolah got a far greater power-up later on in his fight with Ultra Ego Vegeta. While Vegeta utterly overpowered him when he initially unlocked his Destroyer state, Granolah eventually achieved two Red Eyes, which doubled his strength and undoubtedly made him the strongest at that time.

Gas Achieved His Awakened State And Took On All The Heroes
User: Gas
Once Granolah was redeemed in the arc, it was clear who the main villain was going to be after him. With the arrival of the Heeters, Gas made an appearance in his brand-new form, which he had achieved the same way Granolah did; through a wish with the Cerealian Dragon Balls.
However, his wish truly owed its power to the fact that Gas' body had to repeatedly adapt to the strength of others to keep him the strongest in the universe, which ended up turning him into a husk of his former self. However, despite this, it took the combined forces of Goku, Vegeta, and Granolah in their strongest forms to take him on, cementing full-powered Gas as the second strongest in the arc.

True Ultra Instinct Made Work Of Saiyan Emotions
User: Goku
Although Mastered Ultra Instinct is the technique used by the Angels and is the strongest possible version the state, it eventually proved to not be the best version for Goku, who couldn't make use of his Saiyan powers while within it. Due to this limiting factor, Goku's fight with Gas led to him quickly being overpowered.
However, later on in the battle, Goku eventually realized that he needed to tailor the technique in a way to allow the growth of his strength, leading to True Ultra Instinct. Once achieved, Goku even remarked that he was stronger than Gas while in this power, which he couldn't do while in his regular Mastered Ultra Instinct form.
Black Frieza Is The Strongest Mortal In The Mutliverse
User: Frieza
None could have expected the Granolah arc to end the way that it did. In an effort to finally defeat Frieza, the Heeters called him onto Planet Cereal so that Gas could put him down, though, unbeknownst to them, Frieza had managed to get in 10 years worth of training to perfectly hone his potential, which unlocked the Black Frieza form.
In this state, Frieza's new strength is so astronomically above others in the series that many believe him to be on the level of Beerus and the other Destroyer Gods. Due to the fact that he effortlessly killed Gas and then knocked the heroes out of their most powerful forms with a single punch, Frieza is easily the strongest mortal in the setting right now.
