Can EVs go past 252?

No, a single stat in a Pokémon cannot go past 252 Effort Values (EVs), as this is the hard cap in modern games (since Gen 7), even though the theoretical maximum is 255; you can reach 252 in two stats (totaling 504 EVs) and have 6 left over for a third stat, as every 4 EVs grant 1 stat point.

Can a Pokémon have all 31 IVs?

Yes, a Pokémon can have 31 IVs (Individual Values) in all six stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed), which is considered "perfect IVs" or 6x31, but it's extremely rare and requires dedicated breeding or luck in catching. While possible for most Pokémon, some event or static Legendaries might have restrictions, but the standard is 0-31 for each stat, and breeding with items like the Destiny Knot and Power Items makes achieving this much easier.

If you don't want to battle, you can use vitamins and feathers to increase EVs, but this method isn't exactly financially efficient. At $10,000 each, vitamins are expensive, and they only raise 10 EVs per vitamin, which can add up if you're looking to max out at 510 EVs.

What does Max EVs look like?

Once you've maxed an ev pressing x on their stats page it will show a sparkle for that stat. It's not as clear as I'd like it to be but if it's a freshly caught/bred pokemon it's fairly easy to keep track of. The pink and blue stats are from the nature of the pokemon.

What happens if you breed 2 Ditto?

If you try to breed two Ditto together in Pokémon games, nothing happens; you won't get an egg, because Ditto cannot breed with itself, despite its unique ability to breed with most other Pokémon. The game's mechanics prevent Ditto from forming an egg with another Ditto, often showing them just "not getting along," but you can breed one Ditto with almost any other compatible Pokémon to get an egg of the other Pokémon's species.

Are 6iv Pokémon possible?

One IV is always random. Therefore, the chance of getting 6IVs is the chance of getting 5IVs via the Destiny Knot multiplied by the chance of randoming 31 in the sixth (1/32). There is a 1/6 chance of the IV missing from one parent being the one IV that is not passed on, guaranteeing 5IVs.
