Maschiff primarily appears on the southwest and west portions of Paldea. You can find it all over this region before you reach the beach on the west side. We recommend sticking close to the inland, namely in South Province Area Two, close to Cortondo, South Province Area Four, in the southeast part of the West Province, throughout the east side of Cascarrafa, and in West Province Area Two. These are the best locations to track it down and give yourself a good opportunity to add it to your team.

Maschiff is a Dark-type Pokémon, and its evolution, Mabosstiff, is also a Dark-type. It will evolve into Mabosstiff when it reaches level 30, which you can do while exploring Paldea. It does not require a specific method or special move to level it up, so don’t worry about trying to meet any specific requirements.
