Battlefield

Spikemuth is the only leg in the Gym Challenge without a Stadium or a Power Spot to facilitate Dynamax. Instead, the player's challenge begins soon after passing the Pokémon Center, where they must fight a gauntlet of Team Yell Grunts, who reveal themselves to be the Gym Trainers of Spikemuth, who formed Team Yell to support the Gym Leader's little sister, Marnie. Occasionally, a Mr. Mime will block the path with an invisible wall, forcing the player to defeat a Grunt before they can proceed.
