How do you get the Punching Glove in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?

There are two ways to obtain the Punching Glove. You can either buy it from the Mesagoza Delibird Presents for ₽15,000 or receive it free by completing a challenge in Zapapico. However, the Punching Glove will only appear in the shop after you have collected four Gym Badges.
