Should I evolve Pokemon before event ends

I'm level 22 and have a number of Pokemon that I want to evolve. I have 5 pidgies, caterpies, weedles, and rattatas ready to go. I'm also thinking about evolving some of the stronger Pokemon that I got from this fire and ice event (shellder, swinub, growlithe, cyndaquil). I heard the event gives bonus exp for evolutions, so would it be a good idea to activate a lucky egg and evolve these guys? Or should I wait until I collect more of the xp fodder Pokemon?

Thanks in advance

I just did a mass evolve but only because I wanted to create more space, but there's no bonus XP for evolving (like for hatching eggs) as during a double XP event (then it's quad XP if activate a lucky egg!). You should have 65-75 mons ready to evolve with a lucky egg so sounds like you should consider waiting and collecting a bit more.

Wait for more, the event doesn't give extra xp for evolving but some events do. I usually wait to have around 80 evolutions ready before poping a lucky egg for mass evolve.

Hey guys, thanks for the quick response. I was totally unaware that this current event didn't give bonus exp for evolving pokemon. Looks like I will be grinding quite a few more pidgies before I activate it. Thanks for the advice!

This even only give 5x EXP for hatching eggs and 3x EXP for catching bonuses.

No bonuses for evolving.

That doesn't sound like you have enough to make it worth it, but a couple times during the event I used a lucky egg with an incense, and got about 80 percent exp of a normal mass evolve with a lucky egg. Although I still had about 40-45 evolves ready instead of 60 plus
