Pain doesn't feel pain. This was explicitly shown when Ibiki was attempting to torture the Animal Path in his space-time technique, but to no avail.

I don't think that Sasori's poison would work either. Sasori's poison obviously paralyzes the muscles, which prevents movement. The way Pain operates is moving the corpses like puppets, through invisible chakra threads and chakra receivers. Hence, it would bypass the effects of the paralytic poison, as the way the bodies are moving aren't through the use of their own muscles.

I still think that Hidan needs a live host for his ritual to work, otherwise the whole point of the ritual (making sacrifices to Jashin) is moot. You can't sacrifice something that is already dead.

I'm unsure about Kisame too. I think Deva could use Universal Pull to yank him out of his giant water bubble technique, and the Animal Path's crustacean summoning can wreak havoc without being impeded by the water too.

Honestly, Pain is crippled heavily because of the location. He can't use his large-scale techniques in the environment without damaging Amegakure badly.
