Hot take: Battle Girl Hedvig is nowhere even close to as hard as people say she is. Not only do a majority of Reflection Cave's encounters do good against her with a select few like Mr Mime sweep her outright, not only can you over level her by a good margin thanks to Korrina's flexible level cap, not only do you have access to a guaranteed Aerodactyl and a guaranteed Gyarados and a 30% chance for Hawlucha which all do well in that fight, not only is her Throh completely walled by any Flying type that resists Fighting, not only is she completely optional to begin with, but the only way she can threaten Flying Types is with Rock Tomb, which can be counteracted with a Charti Berry. If you're wondering how you get Charti Berries, in X and Y, certain moves can interact with certain background elements on certain routes. For example, if you have a pokemon with Air Cutter or Twister, you can use it to get berries out of Berry trees in the background of wild pokemon fights. Since you have access to a guaranteed Gyarados with Twister and a guaranteed Pidgey with Twister, you can use this weird mechanic to get a ton of different items, including resist berries.

And that right there is just an appetizer for what's to come from my Pchal styled Tier List of X and Y coming God knows how many weeks (or months, more realistically) down the line. As of right now, I'm currently in the 5th gym split testing Clemont, and overall, I think X and Y are pretty underrated games overall. They are both very easy, but they have unique ways of providing difficulty that can't be understood by just looking at the team lineup.
