It depends on the way you play, but in most cases, if you leave the Exp Share on, you will be fairly significantly overleveled. It seems to me like they're trying to find the balance where you don't have to grind a la Gen V and prior, but haven't quite found it yet. I heard somewhere that they were having a problem with people stopping the game after the eighth gym because the level jump to the Elite Four was so large, and many don't have the patience to grind or come up with a strategy to make underleveled mons work. That's certainly no longer a problem with Gen VII and VIII, but as I said, I think they oversteered.
