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

I was curious so I decided to try the on/off method just now. I only did for 10mins but must say that it can work with practise.

Anyway in 10 mins I managed to do 27-28 evolves. This equals to 84 evolves in 30mins. Not so good but already better than my best of 76 using normal method. I was quite kelam-kabut. Will take some practise to perfect the sequence: evolve, switch to app switcher, quit app, start app, tap ok, go to pokemon list, scroll, press evolve and repeat. I'm using iPhone 6s so speed is quite fast. Didn't encounter any probs with PoGo signing in multiple times in the 10 mins.

Probably for my next mass evolve, I'm going to try this.

A few things I noted:
- I double checked that the XP from the evolves are registered. Was afraid with all the quitting and restarting, some XP may have been missed. But no, it's all there.
- I believe you can quit PoGo as soon as you press Yes to evolve. The server seems to register the evolve as soon as you press Yes. But internet connectivity quality may affect this.
- There's no level up animation. During my test, I went from Level 24 to 25 after one of the evolves. The level up animation does not play after restarting PoGo. But I confirm that the level rewards are received.
- I'm on an iPhone and double pressing the Home button is one way to bring up the app switcher to quit PoGo. An alternative is to use AssistiveTouch. 2 taps to bring up the app switcher. Not sure which is faster but the latter will be less destructive to your home button.
- I did my test on 4G but wifi should work equally well.
- The "Sort By..." remains after app restart but the scroll position is reset to the top
- You can Fav as usual but you can't un-fav since un-Fav only works after the evolve PoGo needs to be restarted as soon as you press Yes to evolve so some scrolling will be needed which will eat up some time.
- I might consider not using Fav for this because the secondary sort for Fav'ed Pokemons is CP. It's going to be one big mess.

Time your kill app / restart time.

The animation takes about 20 secs to complete, so if your kill + restart is under that 20, then it is worth it.

94!!!! oh mai... so many... thats like 3 in one min eh...

number 5 is true ??
TBH right now me level 21 don't even got any 10km eggs
is it due to I didn't hatch a lot eggs (now my bag got 9 eggs, hatching 2 eggs which are 2km and 5km)
if like this I better spend those egg incubator to hatch those 5km eggs

Those are the IVs of this Dragonite. They are constant for each individual Pokemon. We often refer to IVs as 01-15 but it's actually 0-15 plus the base value. The base value is the same for one type of Pokemon.

HP & CP and also damage & defense are calculated from those IVs and Pokemon level and move set for damage.

Here's the video of my mass evolve. 111000XP in 30mins. Done on iPhone 6s. I added a timecode so you can time the evolves.

No laughing at me for powering up Pokemons the first 3 or 4 times instead of evolving them. It was 3am in the morning.

Timings:
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

Warning: 30mins of mass evolve boredom.


71 is great for a first try! I only managed 63 on my first.

93k exp is good de lo. I usually get like 70k+ only cause I can't do the off/on trick.

The app is indeed more unstable now, I play normally also sometimes will crash. Taking down gyms half way, suddenly crash, using potions sometimes game froze.
