I'm kind of curious why there's banned moves and why so many of them. The odd thing is that Hone Claws is on the list, but I have a Galarian Meowth that has that move and was using that move when I caught it.
Banned moves were introduced as a feature exclusive to Hardcore and Restricted modes to handicap player's tactical options. Certain moves may be not completely removed, but made only available to "less viable" Pokémon.
Normal mode doesn't ban any move/ability, unless they changed that in the new version.
