You can find Maschiff around the ruins and grasslands of South Province (Areas Two and Four), and West Province (Areas Two and Three). They are commonly found around Ruins, but can also be caught on the grasslands. If you do bump into a Maschiff, it will escape battle by using the Run Away move. You have to be prepared before you can go up to it, so you should come equipped with the right Pokeballs. If you are unable to find a Maschiff, you can have some dark encounter power sandwiches to boost your encounter power.
Once you find a Maschiff, you can evolve it into Mabosstiff by leveling up Maschiff. You can level it up by using it in battle, feeding it XP candies, and using the Auto-Battle feature in Let’s Go. You have to let Maschiff reach level 30 to get Mabosstiff.
