If you're just looking for rare candies you don't even need to get them up to 91. 10% is the highest that you can get for them, and it starts at lvl 51. I have a team of 6 Ambipom raised just for that purpose, I'm just too lazy to get them into the next percentile range. Although the lower percentages are different (ie. no chance for Earthquake or Leftovers). Bulbapedia gives all the details and percentages.
And the Lucky Egg is the better way overall. I just use Rare Candies to finish the last 5 or so levels seeing as how those just take too long to finish off.

Yeah i suppose, but i've never been fussed with Rare Candies, old habits die hard.
my pickuppers are 91 cos i like PP ups, leftovers and EQ TMs. mainly cos out of my 24 pokemon: 10 know Earthquake, 7 Hold Leftovers and 11 know PP uppable moves (Low PP, Low Accuracy), eg Stone Edge, Focus Blast, etc.

I just use my "slave" versions (FR, LG, S) to get the other things that I might need. Restarting those to get what I need isn't too hard. Although one of these days I might build that team up.

Man, I don't know what you are thinking, because I only two Rare Candies left after I got tires of leveling up my Gabite before I got the Barchomp stat boost. How can I get more? Last time I checked, you could win them as prizes from the battle tower. They cost quite a bit of points though.

What i mean by Egg moves, is that i'm trying to get another blaziken (female) so that i can get a Torchic that will learn reversal because it's one of the egg moves. But Blaziken, Combusken, and Torchic can't learn reversal so i don't know how I'm supposed to get the Torchic to learn Reversal.

Well according to Serebii (i spend far too much time on that site), the members of Blazikens egg group that learn Reversal are Growlithe and Vigoroth.
So you need to get a female Torchic, and then level up one of those two that is male, put them both in the daycare centre, and you should get a Torchic egg with Reversal

You must breed a female Blaziken with a male Field Egg Group Pokemon that knows Reversal for the Torchic to inherit the move. Vigoroth learns Reversal at Level 49 and is in the same egg group as Blaziken. Therefore breeding a Male Vigoroth that knows Reversal with a Female Blaziken will yield a Torchic that knows Reversal. Breeding does not necessarily have to involve two of the same species.
Damn my lengthy explanation, Dave beat me to it!

Just a reminder, reversal is only useful when your pokemon is nearly "dead". You probably don't want to wait until it almost faints before you use it to its full potential.

I know, I'm gonna give my blaziken a focus sash and when he/she is brought down to one HP. I'll use reversal, it's like Marriland's startegy with the Rattata but even better

Who's Marriland?
Be careful not to rely too much on focus sash or focus bands to survive. Remember that there are normally 15 pp to reversal, so it would be a waste of space if you are only able to effectively use the move 4-5 times. Just something to keep in mind.

It was apparently thought up by a Gamefaqs.com user named Reaverz.
