Some tips below. Probably known by the more experienced but may be helpful to beginners.

1. Save your lucky egg for a mass evolve. Collect a whole bunch of candies for the cheap-to-evolve pokemons like Pidgey, Weedle and Caterpie. Then break out a lucky egg for double XP. Lucky egg is active for 30 mins or 1800 secs. If you're real fast, say, 25 seconds for each evolve, you can evolve 72 or more pokemons for 72000 XP. Lucky eggs are awarded at levels 9, 10, 20, 25 and 30.
Tips for the tip
- Do it at a time when nobody is going to disturb you for 30 mins. Nothing worst than an incoming call 10mins into your mass evolve.
- While you may be tempted to remove your sim card to prevent any incoming calls, don't. It's a good idea to have your phone data as a backup in case your wifi goes down.
- Set your own 30min timer because you can't see the timer when doing the evolves.
- Don't exit to the map screen for whatever reason because if you have levelled up, the level-up animation will waste precious seconds.
- Favourite all the pokemons that you want to mass evolve. Sort them by Favourites and they will appear at the top. This saves a lot of time as you won't have to scroll through the list.
- It's also important to un-favourite them as they are evolved. This ensures that only the unevolved ones remain at the top of the list.
- If you get a new Pokemon as a result of an evolve, that's an extra 1000XP. The new pokemon animation adds only a few secs so it's worth it. With that in mind, you may want to avoid capturing pokemons that you will be evolving.
- Use http://www.pidgeycalc.com to double check your calculations for the optimum number of evolves.
- Start strategising your mass evolve from level 1. Decide if you want to catch evolved Pokemons now or skip them and save them for the bonus during your mass evolve.

For my 2nd mass evolve, utilising all the tips above, I managed 73 evolves (73000XP) with 11 new pokemons (11000XP) for a total of 84000XP.

Also see below for the Onoff method named after Swedish female player Appel Onoff.

2. Legitimate fake location If you're indoors, check to see if there's any difference in your location when your wifi is off and on. If there is, toggle your wifi every few minutes. That'll get you moving a little bit. It's not much but I find it good for hatching those 1.9/2.0km eggs.

3. Pokestop No. 10 If you spin 10 different pokestops. The 10th one will give you double XP and more items (6-8). You can do this multiple times as long as the pokestops are unique. There is a cooldown period (not sure how long) before you can re-use the same pokestop. Not sure if there's a time limit to go through all 10 pokestops.

4. Gym Pokecoins If you managed to put a pokemon into a gym, immediately, go and collect your 10 pokecoins. Many beginners seem to miss this. Collect from the shield icon in the Shop.

5. Hatching Eggs Hatch your 2km & 5km eggs first. Always try to ensure that you have space for an egg in case the next one that comes along is a 10km egg. Delay as much as possible until your level is higher before you start hatching your 5km and 10km eggs. The 10km eggs gives awesome Pokemons but their level will depend on your trainer's level. Egg level is determined when you received it & not when you hatch it. TBC but eggs collected have the same level as the trainer during collection time up to a cap of level 20.

6. 100th Bonus For every 100th of the same pokemon caught, you'll get 100 XP bonus.

7. Pokestop Wardriving When you're a "passenger" in a car, keep an eye on Pokestops on the roadside and spin them as you pass them by. After you spin and the stop turns purple, you can immediately exit. The items are automatically collected. You can't go too fast. Ensure you spin before the pokestop gets out of range or you won't get any items.

8. Pokemon Wardriving When you're a "passenger" in a car and see an awesome pokemon that you must have. Don't try to capture it in the car. It's too dangerous. Just tap it to start the capture and wait till you're safely stopped somewhere. You can still capture it even if you're far away from where you originally saw the pokemon. I've used this to catch pokemons 2, 5 and even 20KM from where I first saw and tapped them.

9. Zooming with 1 finger Everyone knows 2-finger zoom, you can also zoom with single-tap and drag up/down. Good for one-handed use.

10. Spending Money If you plan on spending money for pokecoins. Don't buy pokeballs. They're too expensive at ~20sen per ball for a consumable. I suggest Bag Upgrades for starters. Once you hit higher levels and start getting more types of balls and potions, there won't be enough space to store everything. Also good if you bot. Tip #18

11. Morning Balls While it's tempting to play till you're out of balls before retiring for the night. Save a few balls for the morning. Nothing is worse than waking up to a Draconite outside your house with no balls.

12. Practise Throwing Excellent throws are really difficult to achieve. Forget them and aim for Great Throws which gives an extra 50% XP and are much easier to connect. It's like having half an infinite lucky egg the whole day.

13. Morning Gyms The best time to get a few pokecoins is in the morning. Not many people, maybe even no-one, at the gyms then. Early Pidgey gets the Weedle.

14. Banana Leaf Rice When eating banana leaf rice, use fork & spoon. If use hands, may not have enough time to wash hands & come back to catch the Dragonite that just appeared.

15. Drive Slowly Especially near colleges. Watch out for fellow Pokemon Go players crossing the road. Also to hatch your own eggs.

16. 25XP Flee Bonus It's OK if the Rattata fled after throwing 10 balls at it, you still get a consolation prize of 25XP.

17. Poketrip Planning http://pokemongomap.info shows you locations of pokestops and gyms. Not entirely accurate but good enough that you can use it to plan for a Poketrip. MV or Pavi? Or to optimise the route taken to somewhere in order to pass the most pokestops. This is safe from bans as it doesn't use your PG account to access data from Niantic.

18. Kid Botting If you have a spare kid in the car... My daughter doesn't like to play Pokemon Go so I've taught her to bot for me. On the way to school, we pass 12 pokestops and her job is to spin all of them. A bag upgrade will be essential for this. Tip #10

19. Mass Evolve Onoff Method In a nutshell, quitting and restarting Pokemon Go in order to skip the evolve animation thereby saving up to 8 secs per evolve. Theoretically the max number of evolves one can do in 30mins is 1800/15=120 evolves. With a lucky egg, this equates to 120K XP.
negisf is the first to report back with a crazy result of 94 evolves or 94000XP in 30 mins.
See post below for my mass evolve of 111 in 30 mins. 111000 XP.

Here's an example. i just did my first mass evolve with a lucky egg. Managed to get 69000 XP. 66 Evolves + 3 New

Before	After

2 things of note:
1. Set your own 30min timer because you can't see the timer when doing the evolves.
2. Don't exit to the map screen for whatever reason because if you have leveled up, the level-up animation will waste precious seconds.

Results of 2nd Mass Lucky Egg Evolve
Prepared 78 evolves, managed to evolve 73, 11 of them were new pokemons.
Total: 73000 + 11000 = 84000XP

Before	After

Sorry, forgot to take a screenshot just before the evolve.

Results of 3rd Mass Lucky Egg Evolve
Embarrassing but I forgot to activate my lucky egg. Evolved 74 for 37000XP

Results of 4th Mass Lucky Egg Evolve
Prepared 78 evolves, managed 76 evolves + 2 new Pokemons = 78000XP



Results of 5th Mass Lucky Egg Evolve Onoff Method
Prepared 118 evolves. Managed to do 111 in 30 mins for 111000XP.
Mass evolve performed on iPhone 6s.



Notes:
- No laughing at me for powering up Pokemons the first 3 or 4 times instead of evolving them. It was 3am in the morning.
- Had to purchase one Pokemon Bag Upgrade in order to store all the pokemons for the evolve.
- I fav'ed all 118 before I began but the unfaving before the evolve did not work for me. Ended with a big mess and lots of scrolling especially towards the end. Very, very kelam kabut.
- Was afraid about login failure but none encountered.
- Made so many mistakes and mispresses, if the unfaving worked, i think could have done at least 5 more.
- I used AssistiveTouch to bring up iOS Multitasking instead of double pressing the Home button. If you set AssistiveTouch to just one item then it only takes one tap to activate Multitasking.
- Very stressing.
- Recorded the entire session. Once I edit it, I will post it up. Can do some timings from the video.
- App Launch (From touching PoGo icon to appearance of "Do not play while driving" dialog.): 5.6 secs
- Time for one Evolve (From launching PoGo, finding pokemon with no scrolling, starting evolve, quitting PoGo and back to home screen): 13.8 secs

Here's the video of my mass evolve. I added a timecode so you can time the evolves yourself.

thanks .. good info bro .. so its same for all player ..

yeap.
the rewards are fixed .

you got to level 16 using this method oso?
or isit after level 16 then u start the mass evolve party? dats a lot of XP gained yo

I havent reached level 9 yet but just asking, does the Lucky Egg can be stacked, used 2 at the same time?

thanks for the tips m8
just a question, does stacking razz berry adds up to the catch rate as well?
what is the max?

yes it will add the catch rate, but depends on pokemon level of difficulties. i once gave 3 berries but still, they cabut gave me asap

Free lucky egg from level 9, 10, 15 and 2 from lvl 20. So far I've only used 1. Took me 5 days to catch all the Pidgeys/Rattata/Weedles/Caterpies for approx 73 evolves. In the 5 days I managed to collect 125k XP. After lucky egg total is 198k. So hopefully next week can reach lvl 21 and a half.

wah lao master. in 30 minutes can do 73 evolve? powerrrr


btw you think maximum how much can we evolve in 30 minutes?

I've done about 60. Roughly 3 evolutions in a minute. Theorectically can do about 90 but I estimate 70-80 is more likely. There are 3 things I know that can influence how many you get to evolve in the 30 mins:
1. Whether you have seen the evolutions before. If you don't have the evolutions in your pokedex, then you will also get the pokedex entry animation when you evolve it. That will take up some time though. However, that's nicely compensated since you get the 500XP from seeing a new pokemon which at double becomes 1000XP.
2. How you order your list. If your list is haphazard and not ordered properly, you can end up wasting time checking to see which pokemon can evolve and looking for them. I recommend ordering by #Number and transferring all unneeded pokemon.
3. How fast your device is. I've read that force closing the app and restarting it can take about 8 seconds which is faster than waiting for the animation to finish. Haven't tested it yet but planning to do so soon.

thanks sifu!

and dont forget to update here point #4, whether it works or not. will be huge difference

For me, first time do mass evolve, a bit kelam kabut but quite happy to get 66 evolves plus 3 evolution bonus for 69000 XP.

Mistake that I made was exiting back to the map to check how much time I had left. The Level animation kicked in and that wasted precious seconds.

Nope, I only learn about mass evolve on day 3 (day 1 being launch day Saturday). By the time I finish collecting enough candies for mass evolve on day 6, I was already lvl 16.

Lucky egg cannot be stacked. So nice if can have quadruple XP. :-)

Cannot stack razzberry. You activate 1 raz then throw, if miss can activate another and throw again. You can't feed 2 razz to the pokemon.

PS: Updated 1st post with more info.
