Transfer the Pokémon to the Professor
You receive Candy in exchange for transferring a Pokémon. Be careful—you can’t get the Pokémon back after you’ve transferred it to the Professor.
You receive 1 candy per pokemon transferred, regardless of the pokemon's level of evolution or CP. (Hat tip to @CreativiTimothy) for sharing this in the comments.
If you have enough candies (for example, let's say Oddish candies), then you can evolve your Oddish to a Gloom.
Now let's say we want to transfer an Oddish to the professor. If you do so, you will receive a single Oddish candy. As such, no, you do not need to transfer anything to the professor to evolve a Pokemon.
