It's by no means an easy task, but it's entirely possible. And I'm gonna teach you a few steps to follow on how to complete the Pokedex.
1. Beat the game fast.
Beating the game fast allows you to have access to Victory Road, which is a key area for leveling up hard to level-up Pokemons. By the time you beat the game, you would have access to the Friend Safari, which might help you complete the Kalos Pokedex (provided you have a good amount of friends). Also, you need the Battle Maison if you wanna get Sneasel and Gligar's evolution.
2. Breed (a lot).
The thing about Kalos is that it's so big that you'll almost always find a new set of Pokemon in each route, which means that you're less likely to have encountered the pre-evolved form of the Pokemon at later routes (unless you find them in horde battles). So you'll most likely need a Ditto (found in the Pokemon Village at the 8th Gym) to breed all the evolved Pokemons. Also, breed your starters, they're high in value at the GTS at the moment, so you use them to get other starters as well.
3. Find a good place to train hard-to-train Pokemons.
Go to Coumarine City to get the Lucky Egg from the girl at the hotel by showing her a Pokemon with max happiness. You'll need it for pseudolegendaries that evolve pretty late. While there are many ways to level up your Pokemons like battling in restaurants or fighting the Elite 4 and Battle Chateau members, my training method of choice is to use Sweet Scent in Victory Road to fight Floatzel hordes (and using Earthquake/Petal Blizzard on them). A Floatzel horde gives 3.5k Exp, so that's pretty amazing for a wild Pokemon encounter.
4. Find a trading partner.
Find people who plays Y (if you play X) to get the version exclusives, or someone who uses different starters from you (GTS works for starters too), or people who used the other fossil Pokemon. You'll need someone who'll trade you their exclusives for yours, and someone who'll help you evolve Pokemons by trade.
5. Catch every Pokemon species you can find (duh).
Check on websites like Serebii to find out what Pokemon can be found in which location, and how to encounter the Pokemon as some Pokemons can only be found in horde battles. Also, check with gaming forms like Gamefaqs often if you have trouble finding certain Pokemon.
6. Be patient in catching the Legendary Bird
You'll encounter Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres depending on which starter you choose. The problem with their encounters is that they'll flee straight away without giving you the chance to do anything. You'll have to try to increase you chance of encountering the bird in the wild. After several encounters, the bird will be residing in the Sea Shrine Cavern (that thing North of Coumarine City), and that's when you can fight it in a proper battle.
7. Make sure you hatch eggs the same time you raise your Pokemon's happiness
Pokemons like Golbat and Riolu only evolve by happiness. Make sure when you're hatching the eggs you got from the day care that you bring these Pokemons along for the ride to raise their happiness. That way, you could save time and money in increasing their happiness.
I guess that's all the advice I have at the moment. It's a good thing I completed the Pokedex now since my exams are coming soon. Also, I wanna focus on playing Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies too.
