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.
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.
