So, I've been watching episodes of the G1 cartoon on Youtube lately, this is what I've come up with for the specific magical talent the unicorns have.

Gusty: Create gusts of wind.

Fizzy: Create bubbles.

Ribbon: Telepathic dream messages.

Buttons: Levitate small objects.

That isn't all of the unicorns of course, since I haven't seen all the eps again yet (saw 'em as a kid but can't remember much of them.

If anyone else knows any of the other unicorn's talents please post them! :D
 
If I remember correctly twilight could teleport. I'm not sure how far she could go, but I think relatively close.
 
Galaxy can generate heat and light.

I am 99,9% sure that was not the case. Galaxy's talent was sensing sources of magic and power, as well as having a strong intuition (sources: Return of Tambelon, Baby It's Cold Outside). In other words, basically an empath.

I'm also pretty sure teleporting was something all unicorns could do - in the show, NOT the specials.

And actually, I think you have all the other unicorns covered, Star_Flare. There just weren't as many unicorns compared to all the others. Mimic was in one episode, but all she did was get sick, so we didn't get any demonstrations of her powers.
 
You guys have covered all the ones I know! :winkpony:

But didn't she use her magic to melt the ice in "Baby, It's Cold Outside?" At least that's what it looks like in this video at 7:49.

Can all unicorns generate heat, then?

That was a problem for Sweet Stuff in Sweet Stuff and the treasure hunt. She could not play hide and seek with the other unicorns being an earth pony and all.

I think in The Magic Coins the unicorns poke some cactus with their horns when there was a drought.

Eh, I'm sure that's more of them just doing something natural (as natural as magical unicorns piercing crystal cacti can get :p) with their horns rather than a special ability.

And considering it was Megan's suggestion, I don't think their magic had anything to do with getting the water out of the cacti.

Galaxy mentions in that episode that when her horn lights up it gets warmer and she was hoping it would be hot enough to melt the bars. Since whenever any of the unicorns use their magic their horn lights up I'm assuming their horns heat up as well.

In the first episode it seems that only Twilight had the ability to teleport (and even then it took a lot of concentration) as Glory and Moondancer never did it. I guess the writers thought it was a pretty neat gimmick and made it a standard unicorn power.

Buttons could manipulate some large items as well; in one episode she moves a huge shell to fit between the jaws of a giant beast's skull so it doesn't slam down and trap her and others.

they call teleporting winking right? There was one episode where all the unicorns disappeared because the winked and got trapped in some weird inbetween space. So all unicorns can wink.

Glory's can make shooting stars

Moondancer and make moonlight (or something like that)

Gypsy can also tell the future using her horn i believe
