If you want the Pokémon for yourself, catch it. If you are looking for Sinistea for its crafting drop, you may want to useLet’s Gomode to defeat Sinistea instead, as this will guarantee crafting material drops with each Pokémon defeated. You’ll need 10 Sinistea Chips to trade for the Malicious Armor in Pokémon Violet. Give that Malicious Armor to Charcadet and he will immediately evolve in Ceruledge.
