Here is everything you need to know about Maschiff and Mabosstiff in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!
How To Evolve Maschiff Into Mabosstiff In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet

Maschiff and Mabosstiff are two brand-new dog Pokémon that can be found roaming through various areas in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's Paldea region. Both are pure Dark-type Pokémon defined by the cheeky grin that covers their face. While Maschiff doesn't really play much of a role in the main storyline of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Mabosstiff is one of the most important Pokémon in the Titan Pokémon plot. 

Without spoiling too much of the story, we learn early on that Arven has a Mabosstiff, and wants to use the Herba Mystica in order to make his injured partner feel better. Over your journey, Arven's relationship with his Mabosstiff is really heartwarming and definitely makes you want to add one of these Pokémon to your own team. If that is the case for you, you've come to the right place. This article will cover where you can find Maschiff and how to evolve it into your very own Mabosstiff!

To evolve Maschiff into Mabosstiff all you have to do is level up Maschiff to level 30. Yes, it really is as simple as that! Considering how many Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet have very complicated evolution methods (such as Bisharp and Primeape), it is a nice change of pace to have a Pokémon that evolves simply by leveling it up. 

Maschiff and Mabosstiff are relatively decent Pokémon but will likely not be impacting the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet competitive meta anytime soon. Like other early-game Pokémon, their base stats are a little too low for professional play. That being said, Maschiff and Mabosstiff can do wonders in any kind of casual playthrough and make for a powerful Dark-type addition to your team!
