Do all pokemon of the same evolution chain need the same exp to reach level 100?

Question

This may sound stupid, but could I not evolve a Charmander until level 98 then get it to Charizard by level 100, and save some time training?

Answer 1

Also you should evolve your pokemon as soon as possible so that you can get the evolved pokemon's high stats
