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.

Where you get the lucky egg?? Buy or from pokestop?

You'll get free lucky egg when you reach certain level. So far I already got 3 lucky eggs just from leveling up.

For mine, 1 at level 9. 1 at level 10 and the third one at level 15

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.

can be only used one per session

Nice tips. Should pin this thread.

When coming to mass evolve time you can line up your in coming evolve pokemons by putting favourite (star) to that pokemon. They they will move to the upper line starting with the favourite highest CPs to the lowest.

wow nice tips

Very helpful. I find it it even better to un-favorite the evolved Pokemon as you're doing the mass evolve. Helps prevent accidental double evolves. See first post.

Added link to a really good faq/tips from reddit. Everyone should read this.

lv1 - lv 15/16 is very easy, but u need to spend time on grinding pokemon
imo only use this trick from lv17-lv20, coz each lvl u need 20k 20k 25k exp

thanks for the tips
i think since i at level 11, not very much wild pokemon spawned as before. tensen betul la nak level up camni..
need to camp at lure spots baru boleh dapat a few
the temptation to level up some pokemons is soooo stronkk

yupe .. most of my friend stuck at level 19-20 due to need high exp and they already used lucky egg when level 12-15 .. ayam still not yet use .. will use at level 17 or 18 hope it jump tu level 21 .. i got 2 lucky egg

i started playing on weekday due to working no time to camp haha
one day after work i spend about 2-3 hours at pyramid just to catch whatever i see for the (100exp) from lv2 - lv 8
then some casual playing get to lv10, and last weekend i camp at KLCC from 10am - 6pm lv10 - lv 16, and few hours in pyramid to lv17
after that i only spam lucky egg too lv20 total process in hours i think took less than 24 hours and im now lv20

but yeah lv1 - lv 17 is kinda easy but anything beyond lv20 is gg lol

This doesn't quite work actually. If you are "too far" from where the Pokemon was spotted, it will "resist" all your attempts to catch it and flee.

fuuuuu lvl 10->16->17 talk about dedication mang lol

I wanna be the very best~
Like no one ever was~

but well if u really into playing this games now is the time to power leveling atleast till lv20, this is the period where you need to lvl up before anything new implement in games. like any other online, first thing u do is to lvl up first asap, then only u farm for gear
even im lv20 i dont hv any imba/high cp pokemon yoo haha

Any ideas how far is "too far"? I've tried about 2km, can still catch. Will test again when I finish lunch and go a bit further this time.

Previously when I do the same as you, the catch rate is 100%. After latest update, it seemed that if you go "out" of your screen range when catching the pokemon, most likely it will escape.

Whrs the place where growlithe will keep spwaning?

Strange for you yah. I just tested this afternoon.

Slowpoke CP400 - Picked up at traffic lights, stopped at Petronas. ~1.2km - Captured Ok.
Eevee CP250 - Picked up at Batu 11 toll, stopped at Cheras Sentral. ~5.4km - Captured Ok.

Tomorrow try even further.

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.

Damn good eh you. So far max i evolve is bout 67 >.<

I evolved about 50 ~ 52 pokemons last night using lucky egg, if not wrong from lv15 to lv18

really hard to prepare evolves, from launch until now i only managed to prepare 50+ evolves...not a hardcore player though haha

You should get 2 more lucky eggs. I had 4. Used 2 for 16-19 and 21-22. Still got 2 more. Mass evolve first time got 69000, 2nd time got 84000. :happy:

As promised, today tested:
Mankey CP491 - Picked up at Carcosa Seri Negara, stopped at Cheras C180. ~20km - Captured Ok.

I tried also today.

Bulbusar - OUG. Went to Esplanade. Throw once, got out and escaped.
Psyduck - SS15. Went to Subang Parade. Again same thing happened.

Yup drive few KM away, those pokemon will flee. Sunday 11 pokemon, ytd 8 pokemon and today 6 pokemon.

Very strange. I wonder what is different that causes the fleeing. I use this quite often, mostly short distances, will see if the fleeing happens to me.

If anyone else has tried this, let us know how it worked for you.

This post has been edited by soonwai: Aug 17 2016, 12:30 PM

er, how u prepare 78 evolve?how many pokemon is that?

78 evolve = 78 pokemon lo
1 evolve = 1k exp (lucky egg)

stack those pokemon that need 12 of candy.

im lv 21 now, so far i notice the best point to use lucky egg is lv17-20,
coz by i find lv1-lv17 is kinda easy to grind, but lv17 need 20k exp ady

so if 1 pidgey = 12 candy, if 78 pidgey i need = 936 candy?

yes haha so is "catch em all" hahaha

i dont think i got enough space for pokemon now..now 232/250..any suggestion?
and my pidgey candy only 169

If you want, those pidgeotto also can turn into candy so for every evolution you get back +1 candy.

i dont know ur play style la
but when im between lv1 - lv 20 almosy 70/80% of my storage are Caterpie Weedle or pidgey
just send any extra back to professor....

If Pidgeys alone then yeah. It can also be a mixture of the other pokemons. My 2nd mass evolve was quite diversified in terms of species evolved. I played 1-16 while collecting enough candies for my first mass evolve. Then lucky egg evolve 16-19. 2nd one was 21-22. Npw preparing for 3rd one. Still have 3 lucky eggs.

Not really need that many candy.

Cause let's say u evolve 78 pidgey,

You will get 78 candy (from evolving to Pidgetto) + 78 candy transferring them to Professor.

So in another word, evolving 78 pidgey, u will get back 156 candy.

U can transfer right away after you evolve it.

when mass evolve pidgeys, even if it's CP is 10, will still evolve?
is it advisable to catch enough magikarp before mass evolve (to level up) since it will be harder to catch pokemons when level is high?

CP does not matter to evolve. so yup it still can be evolved.

you need 400 candy to evolve magikarp.. so better focus on other pokemons. pidgey, caterpie, weedle are most easiest.

sorry, i think my question was not that clear.

1) i meant to ask if you guys, during mass evolve (lucky egg time), will choose to evolve pidgey that only has a CP of 10?

2) should i plan my mass evolve after i managed to catch/accumulate 400 magikarp candies? if i mass evolve now and level up to, say, lvl20, it will be harder for me to catch pokemons. therefore, i wanted to know if it is better to accumulate 400 magikarp candies first before proceed to use lucky egg for mass evolve to increase my trainer level?

1) yes. doesnt matter the CP. just want to milk all XP that can get from evolving

2) if your goal is to increase trainer level, then definitely wait till 400 magikap candy and evolve together with all your pidgeys while lucky egg is activated. can get XP from evelving the magikap PLUS new pokemon gyarados registered in pokedex.

what is the factor that determine/affect the level of pokemon found? the player level? or the highest CP pokemon you having? or by location?

CP of wild pokemon found depends on trainer level. Pokemon type depends on location, not the pokemon level..

Highest CP in your pokedex is not a factor.

1 thing i hate about this game, they very kedekut xp.

negisf is correct. You'll only need 782 candies to evolve 78 Pidgeys if you transfer all the resultant Pidgeottos after the evolve.

782 will evolve 65 Pidgeys. Left with 2 candies and 13 Pidgeys.
The evolve and transfer will give 65+65 candies. So left with 132 candies

132 will evolve 11 Pidgeys. Left with 2 Pidgeys.
The evolve and transfer will give 11+11 candies. So left with 22 candies

22 will evolve 1 Pidgey. Left with 10 candies and 1 Pidgeys.
The evolve and transfer will give 1+1 candies. So left with 12 candies

12 will evolve your last 1 Pidgey.

But not recommended because the transfer of 77 Pidgeys will take significant time.

Of course, They don't have to be all Pidgeys. This is my last mass evolve.

1 Bellsprout	1 Bulbasaur	3 Caterpie
1 Dratini	7 Eevee	1 Ekans
1 Gastly	1 Geodude	1 Goldeen
1 Krabby	1 Nidoran ♂	1 Paras
32 Pidgey	1 Poliwag	2 Psyduck
11 Rattata	1 Slowpoke	1 Spearow
1 Venonat	7 Weedle	2 Zubat

Yes, when mass evolve pidgeys, even if it's CP is 10, it will still evolve.
I haven't evolved my Magikarp because it's 400 candies and I want to catch a good one first.

The player level determines the level cap of the pokemon caught. I'm not sure exactly but I think it's max 2 levels higher than trainer level. If you're lvl 16, the pokemon caught may be max lvl 18.

Indeed, nothing more disastrous than a Pokemon Go driver versus a Pokemon Go Pedestrian.

This game is so buggy/broken.

1) GPS is not accurate
2) GPS does not update your location as you move
3) GPS bounce your location all over, sometimes across the highway even

4) no pokemon radar
5) always hangs, needs to reboot always
6) phone heats up quickly

7) pokestop sometimes do not work, either white screen or ask you to try later when it is still blue (but after you tap it, it changes to pink without giving you anything)
8) no trading option, cannot swap pokemon and resources with another player
9) no difference between capture of low cp and high cp pokemon, reward system still gives the same xp points.

I wish
1) radar circle to be doubled, help make pickup easier
2) hatching eggs at any speed
3) fixed the game difficulty/reward system

I think different phones got different problems mate, and also if you use different Telco for the GPS problems.

My Xiaomi Note 2 can never register GPS properly and not accurate (using Maxis line) but my iPhone 6+ had no problem, accurate down to the last 10 meters even (using Celcom line). However Celcom line is finicky in my area so when I tether my iPhone to my Xiaomi every thing works proper but the Xiaomi still face problems. Also the Xiaomi Note 2 hangs more often while the iPhone hardly hangs. My friends Galaxy Note 4 also had same problem with GPS (Maxis line) and cant work properly inside the car while poke hunting. And my iPhone doesn't heat as much as Xiaomi (btw having phone calls for 15 mins heats it faster than Pokémon Go over couple of hours).

Pokestop does not work coz sometimes the lag between registering and moving fast. Happens to me when I drive fast past a stop. Never had white screen before (and I've swiped over 1000 pokestops).

Trading option coming soon according to website sources.

the rare pokemon will appear at the same spot?

Level 22 now which is the most gg, 100k exp needed, i think alot of ppl r stuck here. Anyway i have 3 lucky eggs meaning i only used 2 to get to 22

Could it be problem with your phone. Here we play on iPhone 6s, 5c and iPad4. The GPS ok. Indoors, it will jump but not much, maybe 50m down the road. It's good for hatching eggs. At times where there's "No GPS Signal Detected", I just toggle wifi off/on and it goes away.



For me on iPhone 6s, so far got 1 hang, I mean can still open pokemon bag but map cannot rotate. Had to quit and reopen app. The iPhone 5c runs very hot when playing. Other than that, quite ok, stable for me.



If I go to pokestop, spin and exit very fast, the pokestop will remain blue and "Try again later" if try to spin again. But actually the items is already collected. Check the journal.

My daughter is using iPhone 5c with 64kbps data (very slow). When playing with no wifi, she will get entire screen white when trying to catch a new pokemon. Just have to wait. I think is transferring graphics and whatnot.

Make sure you let Niantic know.

yes, dont transfer when u r doing mass evolve coz its waste of time doing so.
its dont hv to be all pidgey, any others pokemon will do as well

u wasted 1 egg bro.
should had use one at lv17 only

wah gg move set lehhh....
why power up?

but the move set kinda meh

Currently 22.8. Almost there. Still got 4 lucky eggs and preparing for 3rd mass evolve. Lvl 23-24 is 125k!

can u do 125 pokemon in 30min?

No way. Not for me. Best is 73/84.

Did some analysis of my PG XP for another thread. Posting the results here too. May be interesting info.

Counting Friday Aug 20 as day 14. As of this post, I have 428503 XP.


So my average is: 428503/14 = 30607 XP/day

I've used 2 lucky eggs for mass evolve (Tip #1) for 69k and 84k XP. If minus that, my daily average for catching, hatching, spinning and battling but not evolving is:
(428503-69000-84000)/14 = 275503/14 = 19679 XP/day

Money spent so far, USD4.99 for 2 x bag storage (Tip #10). It's for collecting balls when I'm out cause my house is not in range of a pokestop. I have a helper bot (Tip #18) which collects balls from pokestops as I drive pass them at certain times of the day and certain days of the week. For safety reasons.

Lucky egg evolves will contribute significantly. Other things that contribute to XP not taken into account here:
Every 100th same Pokemon caught bonus (Tip #6): 100XP
Pokemon Flee (Tip #16): 25XP
New Pokemon in Pokedex Bonus: 500XP (best save for lucky egg)
Every unique 10 Pokestop bonus (Tip #3): 50XP
Battle Win XP: ??? (I don't battle gyms much)

Aiming to do my 3rd mass evolve tomorrow. Was planning for today but I only have 71 evolves, I usually prepare 78. This will skew the above calculations even more.

how come i evolve under lucky egg only 1k exp each?

Normally you get 500XP for an evolve. With lucky egg, you should get double XP. So 500 x 2 = 1000. 1k exp each should be correct.

hm I thought each evolve is 1k exp?

Without lucky egg, only 500XP. Unless the evolve gives you a new pokemon which you have not gotten before then you get another 500XP. x2 with lucky egg.

ah ok thanks.

guess I utilize it well then, from lvl 14 to 17 in 30 mins

Also if you want to maximise your lucky egg, avoid catching evolved forms which you know you will be evolving. In my 2nd mass evolve, I managed 73 evolves (73k) and 11 of this were new so I got another 11k for a total of 84000XP. Check my Nyonya FAQ for the drillz.

Hi TS,

How to do the above?

I just notice on the mass evolved strategy, but maxed out at 30k plus XP only.

This is while you're doing the mass evolve, don't go back to the main map screen. During my first evolve, I did so to check on time remaining. Because my level has gone up, the Level Up animation started and wasted some time. So you don't want to do it. Just keep evolving until the 30mins is up. I use a separate phone as a 30 min timer.

30k XP is quite low. That's only 30 evolves with lucky egg active or 60 evolves without a lucky egg. Did you activate your lucky egg before you start?

it was my first lucky egg as well today I think I only managed 40+, been a rookie making all those mistakes ( lvl animation, check time remaining etc)

Did you use the Favourite/UnFavourite tip? I find this to very important. This eliminates scrolling which saves a lot of time.

To recap, you first favourite all the Pokemons that you want to evolve. As you evolve each one, you unfavourite them after the evolve animation. It's only 1 extra tap. Maybe extra 100ms.

57 quite good already. I got 63 on my first try. I think if you didn't run out of pokemons, you'd be more than me.

Let's see what you get next time. Were you scrolling the pokemon list to find the pokemons to evolve?

Good idea. I didn't think of that. Maybe I can give this a try next time.
