1) use lucky egg (which is a buff, kinda like incense, doubles your XP for 30 min) 2) take a fuckton of rattata, caterpies, pidgeys, etc. which you have hoarded and evolve them while the lucky egg is running. double XP for the evolution
i was a little bit "oh god but it gets harder to catch pokemon the higher you go idk" but honestly i just hit 20 and like 15-20 was slow and hard but 20 you get ultra balls and also suddenly your pokemon are much better CP so it's overall worth it. there's just this...level gap that was awful. fortunately i had an eager 11 yo to run around catching pokemon with to help me through that period. ymmv.
