Pokedex completion in the fan-made adventure is a marathon, but a planned one finishes far faster than a random one here.
Catch versus evolve
Roughly half the dex fills by catching, the rest by evolving. Do not grind evolutions early; catch everything on each route once, move on, and batch your evolutions later when you have the stones and levels banked. The evolution guide lists every method.
Missables and one-time encounters
Starters, gift creatures, and one-time encounters cannot be re-caught if you KO them. Save before these fights where the game allows, and use the catching technique of sleep plus red health. Trade evolutions may need NPC trades or items depending on the build.
Efficient completion route
Finish the story first with a catching mindset, then sweep routes in order with a dedicated hunter team. Pair the grind with shiny hunts so rare encounters do double duty, and use Eevee breeding projects to fill evolution lines cheaply.
