We get pretty clear indicators of Sailor Moon's power. By the end of the manga, she has enough power to destroy the Galaxy Cauldron and therefore the galaxy (and universe?) and revive a dead galaxy, and we know that when she becomes Sailor Cosmos, she can control time and space and do all sorts of goddess-esque stuff. We also have some idea of how strong Sailor Saturn is, since she was able to reset the solar system during the Silver Millennium and almost destroy the planet while fighting Pharaoh 90. She's probably a lot stronger in her Eternal form, but I guess that's a conversation for another day.
But my question is, where do the other girls stand? It's implied that the Planet Power upgrade is stronger then Crystal Power/Black Moon arc Sailor Moon (and that the Outer Senshi are equal to the Inner Senshi without their talismans), who was able to destroy the planet Nemesis and Death Phantom. But after that, all we really see are the Inner Senshi struggling with the Witches 5, the Outer Senshi beating Tellu and Viluy, and the Inner Senshi defeating pawns of the Dead Moon Circus. Then they blast Nehelenia/Zirconia with a group attack, power up Sailor Moon into her Eternal form, and that's about it. They do literally nothing in the Stars arc, and they're definitely juiced up by Galaxia's steroid bracelets when they're fighting ESM at the end, so I don't think that counts.
idk, it's always bothered me how unclear the manga gets with the other girls' powers. I hate shonen shows that obsess over power levels, but it's also kind of annoying not knowing where most of the cast stands, especially since they just get tossed to the side towards the end of the story anyways. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they're said to be on a certain power level but lose to enemies who I cannot imagine are that strong; like, Cyprine laughs off Moon Spiral Heart Attack but gets overpowered by Mars Snake Fire? Can't really suspend my disbelief there... like, at least Precure usually gives an idea of where everyone stands in relation to each other and stays relatively consistent with it :/
