Alternatively, you can complete Tera Raids, as this will reward you with Exp. Candy that you can use to level and Evolve Tinkatink.

Finally, you can eat Sandwiches which have the Exp. Point Power buff on it to allow you Pokemon to get more exp from defeating Pokemon of that specific type. You can find all the available Sandwiches in the game via this page: Every Sandwich Recipe in Scarlet & Violet.
