Isn't that a Transfer Move but not an Egg Move?

I've been using
Toxicroak@ black sludge
Dry Skin
Adamant, 4hp, 252 att, 252 speed
Fake Out
Drain Punch
Gunk Shot
Sucker Punch

Fake Out and Sucker Punch can take out most weakened pokes, Drain Punch restores about 50% hp on SE hits, and Gunk Shot is for extra power.

I don't understand why people love doubles so much. It seems to me like it's nothing more than spamming protect and its variants so you don't get nuked into oblivion.

Singles is fucking worse.
Switch/U-turn/Volt Swich/Switch/Stealth Rocks/Defog.. rinse and repeat ad nauseum

Fuck that. At least with Doubles you can predict the Protect and punish the opponent. Nothing you can do about switchfest in Singles.

I just find doubles fun.
I never win, but it's neat pretending I have an idea of what's going on.
>tfw using Dry Skin, Black Sludge Toxicroak with fucking Heliolisk as if that's even a good idea.

Heliolisk learns Surf, which you can spam.
Also Rain Dance helps for perfect accouracy Thunder.
It's all about using your imagination and come up with a strategy of your own.

That's contradictory. You say they need to have synergy, but that you can't depend on them working in pairs?
Point is, you can make that pairing work. Just add Politoed for auto rain, switch Heliolisk if you predict an electric attack, and patch up weaknesses with a Levitating fourth.
You can't really do this in singles.

There's a lot of protect, but at the same time protect adds a whole other layer of prediction and planning to the game, on top of having a second pokemon to use.
