Gym Mission
The seventh Pokemon Gym in both Pokemon Sword & Shield is found in Spikemuth, and its a Dark Type Gym. At first, the gate to the city will be closed, but Marnie will help you get in the city. She grew up in Spikemuth, and her brother is actually the town's Gym Leader. He's also the leader of Team Yell, the same who just so happened to close the gate to city so Marnie would have a better chance at becoming champion. The Mission for this Pokemon Gym is simple: defeat all the Team Yell Members on your way to the Gym Leader so Mr. Mime removes its barriers.
Team Yell Grunt: Level 42 Galarian Linoone
Team Yell Grunt: Level 42 Thievul
Team Yell Grunt: Level 42 Scrafty
Team Yell Grunt: Level 43 Liepard
Team Yell Grunt: Level 43 Weavile

After defeating the Mission, you will go on to face the Gym Leader, Piers. Like the Pokemon Gym, he is a Dark Type Trainer. He has four different Pokemon, but neither you or him will be able to Dynamax during battle since the city wasn't built in an area where it can be done.
Gym Leader Piers: Level 44 Scrafty, Level 45 Malamar, Level 45 Skuntank, Level 46 Obstagoon
By defeating Piers, you will earn Dark Badge. With it, you will have the ability to catch Pokemon up to Level 55. You will also receive TM85 (Snarl) and the Dark Uniform.
