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.

Trivia
- Behemoth Bash and Behemoth Blade are not present in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME's move Pokédex, as they are the signature moves of Crowned Shield Zamazenta and Crowned Sword Zacian (which are forms that appear only in battles and, therefore, cannot be deposited into HOME) and cannot be learned by a Smeargle via Sketch due to being absent from Pokémon Sword and Shield.
- This distinction is shared with Glacial Lance and Astral Barrage for the same reasoning, as well as Struggle and Light of Ruin, both of which cannot be legitimately learned by any Pokémon.
