Maschiff and its evolution, Mabosstiff, are very strong Dark Type Pokémon with three very good Abilities. Mabosstiff’s stats are pretty balanced, with a high Attack stat and decent Speed. Its defensive stats are good as well, and its Ability, Intimidate, will lower the Attack of its opponents whenever it enters the battle. Players won’t have to wait long to evolve their Maschiff and can evolve it quickly enough by doing Tera Raids.
What level does Maschiff evolve into Mabosstiff in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
Maschiffevolves intoMabosstiffat level30, making it easy enough to get in the mid-game of Scarlet & Violet. Players can cut the time it takes to level up in half by beating Tera Raids and using the EXP Candy. Early Tera Raids will be no problem as long as players have Pokémon with the right Type matchup. This makes knowing thesymbol for each Tera Typeimportant, but waiting around for Outbreaks of Chansey also works well to level up and can be forced by resetting the Switch’s date. Maschiff has a good amount of Attack and can take out Chansey on its own as long as the level difference isn’t too high.
