Dark Ifrit is one of the Dark Aeons and spawns after you have obtained the airship Fahrenheit. There are a few steps that you have to do in order to initiate the battle against Dark Ifrit though so you wouldn’t normally encounter him randomly.

Location

The Dark Aeon is located on Bikanel Island in the Sanubia Desert. Travel all the way to the north side of the desert, where the Al Bhed town of Home used to be located, and speak to the Al Bhed woman standing nearby. The battle will begin after a few lines of dialogue.

Battle Preparation

Each of the Dark Aeons, including Dark Ifrit, are considered superbosses and are some of the strongest enemies that you can fight in the game. As such, you will need to ensure that your party is fully leveled, has their best weapons and has their stats maximized as much as possible. Refer to the Advanced area of the Tips and Tricks section for additional details.
