Pincurchin can usually be found in beaches and shores particularly in South Province (Area Five) and North Province (Area 3). They are not too rare and it should not take you too long to find one.

Trade Pincurchin for a Haunter

It is a good idea to capture a Pincurchin early in the game. You can trade it for a Haunter later in Levincia and then evolve it into a Gengar.
