I'm trying to get a torkoal with the pokeradar on route 227 but having no luck.
Any tips?

From my personal experience, if the pokemon is a pokeradar only find, it is easiest to find one in patches with the gold lines that appear above them.
 
Everstone when held by the female parent or the ditto in a ditto-male parent couple gives the female/ditto a 50% of passing down its nature.
 
Will the stat increase ever be more than 8? I believe so.
 
What do you mean? EVs make the stat increase by more.... not less.

I just finished EV training my Lv.16 Ralts with 252 for HP and when I leveled it up it said +8, will that number increase at all when I'm leveling up?

To answer your question (if I think I know the question), I'll use another example, because the situation you described to me wouldn't clearly explain to you the concept. For this example, I'll be using Porygon-Z

Normally, if I just raise a Porygon-Z normally, without paying attention to EVs I give it, its sp. atk stat will usually go up by +2 or +3. However, if gave it 252 EVs in sp. atk, then the stat boosts for sp. atk when it levels up will usually be around +3 or +4. A difference so small you won't even notice until you're at level 100. (Or on wi-fi's autolevel feature if you're lazy which we all are :P). This situation was assuming that I was done EV training by like around lv. 8 or so. If I had started EV training at lv. 15 and somehow managed to fit all 252 sp. atk EVs before lv. 16, then the initial stat boost would be something like +8 or +9 like in the situation you described but will go back to the usual +3 +4 afterwards. Another way one can look at this is if it started EV training at lv. 99 and gained 252 EVs sp. atk, its sp. atk stat will increase by about +66. However, the stat at level 100 will always be the same regardless of what level the EV training was started. (That is, if you don't take IVs into account). Sorry if this is hard to understand. It's one in the morning here and I can't exactly think in a way to explain things easy.

On Smogon.com some movesets includefor example Hidden Power Electric, what does that mean?
Click to expand...

Hidden Power's typing changes depending on a Pokemon's Individual Values, or IVs. What that means is that some movesets require a certain type of Hidden Power, which requires a certain setup of IVs.
 
What Are EVs/IVS and what is EV/IV training?

I hear them so much on this site and i really want to know what they are D: help?
