How do you achieve fastest XP gain?
When doing the last sprint for lvl 38. I went "all-in" for two days.
* Constant lucky egg + incense
* Evolved when no spawns were visible, to keep busy all time
* Emptied my big candy caches (900 Polliwag, 600 evee, etc)
* Walked >20km each day to hatch eggs
* Walked loop around 4 lures nearby a very good spawn site for long periods to get "evolve material"
* Used ultra and great balls on everything to get a catch on one throw.
Got 535 000 XP on two days, 14 hours altogether
During this I wondered if there are more tricks in the box?
Like in cities with dense network of pokestops, is it faster XP gain to just spin pokestops with a lucky egg?

Time the 7th day catch and spin bonus with nine 10K egg hatches while lucky egg is active. Sign into multiple devices and mass evolve Piggey on device A, caterpie on device B, and weedle on device C. Same can be done for Nidoran or any other common pokemon.
So essentially what's being done is within 30 minutes a player can evolve about 70 pokemon with the evolution animation taking a bulk of the time. Multiply that by 3 devices and a player can evolve 210 pokemon with a single lucky egg :).
My biggest haul was about 300000 EXP in 30 minutes. The attach pic was the EXP haul on 1 of 3 devices in that 30 minute period. I think I hit 200000 EXP that night.
Yes, you can sign into multiple devices and there is nothing about it in their TOS so its not cheating. The key is to sign into one device, use the lucky egg, then when you sign into any other device the lucky egg will register on that device as well.

Neat trick!
Any others? Especially in my situation on a long haul to level up, where you every other day make a big lucky egg evolution with piggeys, rats, weedles and those common ones. When you the day before have empied your easy evolved storage but do want to give it a shoot anyway, just maximize the XP throughput during a whole day?
