Okay, so the book isn't exactly very clear on whether Evasions can be performed multiple times per Round.
It does, however, clearly say that the Clash action can be used multiple times per Round.
Clash requires the use of a Move, though, which means you can't use that specific move again during the same Round (which is a rule definitely listed in the book)
Interestingly, I also found a noteworthy restriction on clashing: Support moves (obviously), moves that ignore defenses, and moves that do a set amount of damage cannot be Clashed. But that's besides the point.
------------------------------------------
I think the key wording here in the book is that Moves can only be used once per Round, and Evades are a maneuver, not a Move.
Given the nature of Evades, Strikes, Knockdowns, Grapples, etc. all being basic maneuvers that every character can do, I'm inclined to say that they can all be used multiple times per Round.
Particularly since Strikes and Knockdowns are basically a character's only means of damaging self defense if they get dragged into a battle and have no more moves left to use . Mostly looking at human characters in this instance. If they were limited to using only Strike and Knockdown once per Round, they'd only have 2 damaging attacks per Round to use, period.
That, and if a human character gets targeted by a pokemon's attack, I think you'd be inclined to get out of the way of it if you can, and probably do so more than once if necessary.
