I think you can get both moves onto Skorupi can't you? And just breed that with a female sniper spinarak?

Skorupi (Pokémon) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

According to this, Skorupi can only get twinneedle from beedrill or that knight thing (i dont know genV english names), neither of which seem to learn night slash. Does this mean I'm out of luck?

Yeah, unfortunately you cannot have those two moves together on a Spinarak, they both require different parents with nothing learning both (in the correct egg group).

They don't anymore, they removed the feature.

Lileep evolves to Cradily at Lv. 40.
Lileep learns AncientPower at 43, but Cradily at 36. So it's impossible to learn normally.

Should I evolve Lileep in 40 and get AncientPower by move relearner or wait it to learn in 43 and then evolve? What's the difference? (Does that affect EVs?)

I'm not sure if the move relearner would allow your Cradily to learn AncientPower at 40 if it never learned it at all. But to be safe, just level Lileep to 43 first since it doesn't really affect the EVs. Only the EV-lowering berries can affect your Pokemon's EVs.

If the move is in the pokemon's movepool prior to its current level then you can relearn it at the move relearners. The move relearner doesn't just apply to moves that you have actually had it know and then deleted. For example, Dewott cannot learn Megahorn, you evolve it into a Samurott and take it to the move relearners and Samu can learn Megahorn.

Yup, but only in the original G/S/C :/

Okay, so apparently they removed the capacity for a Shuckle to produce a Rare Candy from an Oran Berry in Gen V. It used to be able to produce one from Berry-->Berry Juice-->Rare Candy in Gen II, Oran Berry-->Berry Juice-->Rare Candy in Gen III and I think that continued forward into Gen IV.
HOW LONG did it take to produce a Rare Candy in Gen IV? Is it a certain number of steps, minutes, hours, what!?
Thanks in advance for the help!

It worked only in Generation II.

Haha, I don't even remember that. That's a pretty neat feature, though.

I see. I never knew...thanks for informing me.

The evolution has higher base stats, wouldn't a Pokémon be able to earn more EVs if evolved earlier than another evolved later?

No, Pokemon earn the same EVs in a battle whether evolved or not.

Ohh so I'm not limited by the base stats after all (only by the universal maximum EV number per status per total)!!?
Haha! :)

I got a question about Dream World... It doesn't seem to want to recharge on Black now, and I was wondering both what might have caused this and how I can fix it.
