To quote Bulbapedia:
"An Egg Move[1] (Japanese: タマゴわざ Egg Move) is a special move that a Pokémon is able to inherit through breeding from only one parent. Egg Moves often (but not always) cannot be learned through other ways.
Egg Moves are one of several ways of inheriting moves from parents. Prior to Generation VI, a bred Pokémon will inherit any TM/HM moves which its father knows, if it is compatible with that TM/HM. In Pokémon Crystal, a bred Pokémon will inherit any compatible Move Tutor moves which its father knows. Additionally, if both parents know a move that the bred Pokémon can learn via level-up, it will inherit that move. From Pokémon Emerald onward, a bred Pichu will know Volt Tackle if either of its parents are holding a Light Ball. However, inheriting moves in these ways is distinct from inheriting moves as Egg Moves."
An egg move isn't always "more powerful" so to speak, but in the case of, for example, Dusclops,two Egg Moves it gets, Pain Split and Destiny Bond are very useful in competitive play, and is why Egg Moves are highly sought after. Well, most anyway. Hope this answers your question.

I'm not sure if I have doubles though, and I have absolutely no idea about the IVs haha
