These plants are on opposite sides of the garden.
This pepper I thought was a yellow pepper plant or banana pepper plant has a green pepper with black on it

This next doesn't look bad I was thinking it was just a scratch on the pepper. Looks like a booboo

Are these the peppers you recently moved? If so, don't worry about this. Just give it some time and I think your peppers will surprise you. It is not uncomon for green peppers to have that black or deep purple coloration. Especially common in Jalapenos. Your peppers have been stressed by the move, but should soon be doing much better.

Sorry to say Mom, but that looks fungal to me (see the deformed foliage?)
Two things spring to mind, a mulch for the soil surface (to stop foliage fungus like [url=https://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/IPM/english/tomatoes/diseases-and-disorders/gray-mold.html]Botrytis[/url] or [url=https://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/3000/3117.html]blossom end rot[/url] splashing up from the soil and onto the plant when it rains hard.
The other is milk, mixed one to ten with water, which will add calcium in a readibly soluble form to the plant and encourages [url=https://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/pdf2004/fpl_2004_yang001.pdf]Lactobaccilus[/url] to colonize the leaves, which has an antifungal effect...
I use a hose end sprayer filled with milk and it works great... I mix a little fish hydrolysate in there too and that seems to help as well...
