    I'll just explain the things I know best.

    STAB is when you have a move that is the same type of the pokemon thats using it thus making twice as effective or 1.5 times effective ( idk the legit amount)
    Example would be if you had a Glaceon know the move Ice Beam. Glaceon being an Ice Type will make the move Ice Beam more powerful than if an Empoleon knew the move Ice Beam.

    A pokemon refered to as a tank is a pokemon that can take a lot of hits without fainting. Example tank pokemon - Umbreon

    A pokemon refered to as a sweeper is a pokemon that can take out another pokemon easily. Example sweeper pokemon - Espeon
     
    You only wanted info and nothing else didn't you?
    1.Ev-Effort values are called evs in short. Every pokemon yields some evs. Every pokemon yields evs in different stats. For e.g - Blaziken gives 3 attk evs while aggron gives 3 def evs. If you are playing D/P/Pt then you can use that poketch application which increases a number when you touch the button on the touch screen.Eg If you fought 1 blaziken then you can press the button 3 times to indicate that you have given your pokemon 3 evs in attack. You can find which pokemon gives which evs if you google it. Simple isn't it? You can check serebii for more reference.

    2. Your second question is already answered isn't it?

    3.https://www.serebii.net/games/hidden-power.shtml. You can find every thing you want to find about Hidden power here on the above page. I won't advise using HP though as its too complicated!

    4.Baton pass is a very good move in competitive battling. It can keep the effects in the battle even if you swithch your pokemon. For e.g.- You have an Umbreon and it knows baton pass as well as mean look. You first mean look it then in the next turn use baton pass. You can switch your pokemon and your opponents pokemon won't be able to switch because of mean look's effect. If you had simply used mean look and switched your pokemon manually then the opponent would have had a chance to switch his pokemon as mean look's effect ended as soon as umbreon was called back by you. Understood? Hope it helps you!

    The same goes for Stat boosting moves... like Swords Dance and Calm Mind... those will basically be transferred to the next Pokemon sent in from Baton Pass

    1. Dont know how to keep track of em, i cant help you lol
    2. STAB = Same Type Attack Bonus - Bonus gained if the attack and the pokemon type are the same.
    3.I dont know
    4. Baton passer would be a pokemon you use for Baton Pass i assume
     
    Might as well answer the rest too... let's see

    1. Do one stat at a time... look up the EV values of certain pokemon on Serebii... and use the Counter App to count them up... then move on to the next stat (or pokemon)
    2. Answered above... the multiplier is 1.5 times as powerful
    3. When you catch or hatch a pokemon... it will have IVs, or Individual Values (I think that's what they're called). The IVs determine the Hidden Power type... there is no changing them and the Hidden power will be the type and attack power forever on that Pokemon
    4. Answered above
