A 5 card evolution is where to make a 4* card you simply evolve them in order 0* + 0* -> 1* + 0* -> 2* + 0* -> 3* + 0* -> 4*. If you use a 6 card evolution, for the last step you instead use a 3* + a 1* to make the 4*, rather than a 0*. So you are using 6 cards total. This evolution creates slightly higher stats than a 5*, without requiring a huge amount of effort.

A 16 card evolution is where you evolve 16 0*s to make 8 1* cards, then evolve those 8 1*s into 4 2*s, then evolve those into 2 3*, and finally evolve your 2 3*s together to create 1 4*. A 16 card evolution has slightly better stats over a 6 card evolution but requires a huge amount of additional effort and isn't something a player should ever do unless they are very bored.
