Why 252 EV?

In Pokémon, 252 EVs (Effort Values) is the standard for maximizing a stat because it provides the most stat points (63) for that stat, with leftover EVs (usually 4) distributed elsewhere, as every 4 EVs grant 1 stat point, making 252 the most efficient use before hitting diminishing returns for that stat, preventing wasted points from going over the cap (originally 255, but now effectively 252 for optimal results).

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.
