What is EV training?

I really want to get white next week but I really want to have a ground, water and grass typed team was wandering out of this generation which are really good picks for that.

EV training is rising the Effort Values of individual stats. EV's are hidden numbers that go from 0-255 in each individual stat, and the higher the amount of EV's on any stat increases the amount of points you get per level up. 4 EV's in any stat equals 1 extra point in that stat when you hit level 100. 

For example, with 255 EV's on SP.Atk, my Alakazam on HeartGold was gaining 7/8 points in that stat, per level, after level 62.

Oh I see.

What about the second query?

Sorry, missed that one.

Well, there's Seismitoad (final evolution of Tympole), which is a Ground/Water (part of my Black team). In comparison, he's much stronger than Quagsire was, and excluding Samurott (last evolution of Oshawott), he's the strongest Water-type pokemon.

Excadrill (final evolution of Drilbur), a Ground/Steel pokemon, is a very strong and fast sweeper, and with Hone Claws, you can get his attack power to insane levels and near-perfect accuracy. The only drawback is that it has the lowest defense for a Steel type pokemon, but his HP makes up for it.

Leavanny (final evolution of Sewaddle), is one of the best grass pokemon in the game (if not the best). It can destroy Serperior and pretty much any other pure Grass type, given it's very high attack stat and it's Bug/Grass typing. Plus, it's very fast and even though it has 4x weakness to Flying and Fire, it has super effective STAB moves against a lot of types (Dark, Psychic, Ground, Water, Rock, Grass), so you can't go wrong with it.

Krokodile (final evolution of Sandile), it's a Dark/Ground pokemon, who functions as an attack sweeper, which is like the attacker counterpart of Zoroark. It's fast enough to outspeed almost all of it's counterpart types and has a very high attack stat, but you can also use it to set up Torments, Taunts, Thiefs, you name it. Also, it learns Outrage. 

These are the ones I would recommend out of experience.
