It is where a particular pokemon verses pokemon that dominate one stat and after every level gain you will gain extra stat points in that particular stat

EV: Effort Values, the things that determine your stat increases.
IV: Individual Values, hidden values determining the maximum strength of your Pokemon.
UU: Underused Pokemon
Special sweeper: A Pokemon that attacks vastly by using only special attacks.

Check a site like Serebii for more detailed desciptions on EV and IV.

If you are raising for competitive battling Id suggest start EV training, but if you are raising just for the fun of it then its up to you there :cool:

Not when it starts but what stats it will have at lv 100, so lets say a Tyranitar with 31 IVs in attack and Adamant nature then if you EV train him/her in attack it will have 403 ish atk at lv100

Ahh, the bold bits made me laugh

But yes, IVs determine the tiny differences between two pokemon of the same level, nature and EVs
