If I evolve a pokemon and it turns into a pokemon that's not registered in my pokedex, will I get the same XP, candies, and stardust that I'd get if I caught one in the wild?

If not in your Pokédex, you get extra 500 xp, the same as catching it, but catching also provides candies (3) and 100 stardust, while evolving only gives 1 candy.

Evolving will give the following:
- 500 xp
- 1 candy
- the evolved pokemon
Catching will give the following:
- 100 xp
- 100 stardust
- 3 candies
- bonus exp based upon the throw
- the caught pokemon
Both instances will give an additional 500 xp if the resulting pokemon is not yet in your pokedex.
So they don't give the same thing. Exp: yes. Candies: no. Stardust: no.
