Nope i did not use the Fav function, and i even spent time trading off pidgeotto to get more pidgey candy

Try the Fav/UnFav tip or the "Renaming" tip that someone posted above. I think they should help a lot. And please no more transferring pidgeotto during evolves.

my first mass evolving:
from level20 - 21, 11 new entry in pokedex, about 60 pokemon evolved.
my second mass evolving:
level didnt increase, 6 new entry in pokedex, about 68 pokemon evolved.
71k and 74k XP. That's pretty awesome.

mass evolve with lucky egg could get 90k-100k+ per lucky egg
ignore transfering, just focus on evolve
Yeah, good advice about ignoring transfers.

One of the thing that i have to do that time. I will focus catching more pokemons first for these few days.
I usually prepare 78 evolves before I start. Just in case I gain superspeed. But seriously, the last thing I want is running out of evolves before the timer ends.

Ah just completed mine. Really need to count how many Pokemons and candies are available to make sure you have enough to evolve. The game crashed almost to the end! Had to kill it and restarted. Luckily no level up animation once I got in. Quickly evolved one last one before timer ran out.

Still got lefover Pidgeys for next round

Total 68K exp, from Level 20 to Level 21. Someone said should do it at about Level 17 to shoot up to Level 20... got more feel. Mine like no oomph

...
I use
http://www.pidgeycalc.com/ to double check the candies and pokemons needed. Very handy.
Doesn't matter when you do it, 68k XP now is still 68k XP later but you're right that it's much much more satisfying at 17 and jump to 20. I did mine at 16 to 19 and then 21-22. The 16-19 one, like you said, much more oomph
