Find a rival level 10 gym, make sure your Pokémon can beat at least 2 each. Use a lucky egg, you can gain about 10000 XP when you take down the whole gym and make it neutral.

Does a lucky egg double gym experience? A couple months ago I heard that it didn't.

Power levelling service is the fastest

Bubblestrat is the fastest way. But you need 9 other players for it to gain max ep. The gym should be filled with eg 10 horsea.

In my experience, unfortunately, the fastest way to power up fast is to play A LOT. Mass evolutions with a lucky egg on will give you tons of XP, but you need to catch a bunch of pokemons first.

My experience with gyms is that you get double XP with a lucky egg. Bubblestrat works but it's mind numbing for me. Having to set up a lineup of 6 CP 10 pokemons EVERY TIME to gain 200XP a pop really aggravates me quickly. It's better if you can get a bunch of friends together, but even then, you need perfect bubblestrats all the way around. And that would be 2000XP every run with 10 perfect bubblestrats. Not bad and it adds up if you do it over and over gain and do it quickly; but it's the same as catching 10 pokemons in the wild with a lucky egg on (plus you get stardust and more XP doing "great" throws with curveball) and then you can evolve them for even more XP.

I gain my most XP by playing hardcore with a lucky egg on (walk to hatch eggs, spin pokestops, catch a bunch of stuff) and later do mass evolutions. Would definitely like to hear if others have shortcuts...

I gain my most ep also from lucky egg evolutions. But that doesn't change the fact, that bubblestrat is the fastest way to get ep. Lets say I have to farm at 4 stops at least 8h or more to get enough pokemon for a lucky egg session. When we assume 30k in half an hour without lucky egg, we make 480k in 8h.

I know the proplem of chosing a team for bubblestrat when you are fighting. But there is an easy solution. Sort by "name" and you just have to double tap every slot when you chose an attacker. I use the 2nd and 3rd line.

An even easier way is to give your 6 Pokémon no name. Just tap spacebar once and 'ok'. This gives priority over everything else and puts them up top when you sort by name.

I agree 100% with you.
I caught mons to do an effective bubblestrat, I did it just to prove I could but I really have no desire to sit there and level up a gym when I could be using that time to walk around catching mons.

Catching mons is fun.

Work of getting good throws to catch mons.
The "great" bonus boosts xp pretty fast.

I alternate a normal throw with a curveball throw.
After three escapes I "run away". Unless it is a mon I really want like a Dratini,snorlax, etc.

I don't think powerleveling is a good idea. All that happens is that you become a high-level player with little experience, a few shitty mons and an half empty Pokedex

It's just the fastest way. The best way imo is grinding pokes on lured stops and evolve them later.
