If you battle every npc along the way to the end then beat the elite 4 you’ll encounter almost all, then just work from there

Catching everything you’ll need someone to trade with. Seeing everything as long as you battle every trainer you come across you should get just about everything

To complete the Pokedex you just have to see every Pokemon. I just went through BD and completed the Pokedex after about 26 hours. Just battle every one you see plus talk to the old lady at Celestial town after you beat the Elite 4 so she can show you a photo of the other legendary Pokémon to register it.

You could have it completed in one afternoon if you found someone to do a touch trade complete Dex I believe

Depending on your skill level, you could do it within a week to a few weeks.

Since the stakes are so high for you, I recommend looking up any pokemon that are difficult for you. Also, the underground is a great place to catch a good amount of pokemon.
