Hello everyone! To help whoever is going from gen8 to BDSP, here is a list of the moves Pokémon "lost" between SWSH and the remakes due to missing TMs, Move Tutors and the likes. I took the learnsets masterpaste from the original datamine by Kaphotics as well as a list of all the Pokémon that were OU/UUBL/UU in gen8 to come up with it, looking only for the most used moves in competition.
Keep in mind that it should be possible to obtain most of those in the games (= they will made available in competition) once Home compatibility has been implemented in early 2022. It means this disappearance is only temporary unless the moves are not coded into the game to begin with (with in italic those who are not, from a sheet Anubis put together).
Trick
Knock Off, Psyshock
Thunder Punch, Knock Off, High Jump Kick
Teleport

Soft-Boiled, Knock Off, Seismic Toss, Psyshock, Teleport

For a more complete list, Kris created a script to get all the viable (according to PS! teambuilder) moves lost in BDSP by Pokémon; here is the result! Please note that this might not be all the moves a Pokémon does not have access to anymore (i.e Gyarados lost Bounce because it could only learn it through Magikarp, which itself lost Bounche), but it remains much more complete than mine. If you are interested by seeing which new moves Pokémon got, I invite you to have a look at this post by chlo.
Feel free to leave a message on my profile if I made any mistake or overlooked something relevant. I'll do my best to add more Pokémon as time goes (and depending on the feedback/whether or not people actually find this useful now that the metagame is out). Enjoy!
