From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Behemoth Bash (Japanese: きょじゅうだん Behemoth Impact) is a damage-dealing Steel-type move introduced in Generation VIII. It is the signature move of Zamazenta.

Effect

Behemoth Bash deals damage. If the target is Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed, its damage is doubled. The bonus does not apply to Eternamax Eternatus, despite its similarities to a Gigantamaxed Pokémon.

Generation VIII

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Behemoth Bash cannot be selected in a battle.

Generation IX

As Dynamaxed and Gigantamaxed Pokémon are absent in Generation IX, Behemoth Bash now deals damage with no secondary effect.
