Gamefreak ruined these Legendary Pokemon animations...

Ah yes, in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet behemoth blade looks just like a regular move... and Zamazenta's and Eternatus signature moves aren't even in the game...

Dynamax cannon left the chat…

[@sad-o-lantern7825]

If they give these moves to other Pokemon then the animations will either not work at all or look wrong. Imagine if a future Pokemon got access to dragon darts or thunder cage and you see a Pokemon in the animation that has nothing to do with the Pokemon using it.
