Can someone explain how to EV train for me? I'm new to competitive Pokemon and am just looking for some advice post breeding a perfect iv Pokemon.
also what are characteristics? i know about natures, but I'm having a difficult time understanding characteristics.

First, tell us what kind of team you're going for. What Pokemon do you want to use? Maybe it'll be easier to introduce you to IVs and EVs through a simple team, rather than explain all the mechanics to you.

Tl;dr:
>IVs are generated when a Pokemon appears (the egg is created, wild pokemon appears, NPC trade is finished), range from 0-31, are independent of each other for each of the 6 main stats, and can't be changed after a Pokemon is generated.
>They are added linearly to stats (So a Pokemon with 31 HP IVs will have 31 more HP at level 100 than an otherwise identical Pokemon with 0 HP IVs), and determine the Hidden Power type.
>They can be checked at certain 'pokemon raters', such as the PC function in Sun and Moon.

>To breed perfect IV pokemon in SuMo, first learn how to chain (https://bulbahandbook.bulbagarden.net/pokemonsunmoon/guide/sos-battle-chaining). If you're only looking for a 3 or 4 perfect IV Pokemon, it might be easier to just Chain until you get the right combination.
>Otherwise, just get two opposite-gender Pokemon with no overlapping imperfect IVs (hint: chain to 30), give one a Destiny Knot (and if the other has the Nature you want, give it an Everstone), and breed both until you get a perfect Pokemon - with 4-IV parents and an everstone, I think a given 5-IV Pokemon averages around 50-100 eggs.

>Effort values are easier to change - just use the effort value table to find Pokemon who give the EVs you want, then beat Pokemon with specific EV yields up until you reach the desired totals. This is mostly just bookwork; keeping track of the EVs and making sure never to defeat Pokemon that give stats you don't want to boost.

>Characteristics are a fairly arcane way of describing a Pokemon's IVs; taking the highest single IV (effectively random if there's a tie) and displaying one of five messages based on which stat and the last digit of the IV. It's not reliable for a 'fresh' Pokemon; just ignore it until you get a feel for
