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.

@Kris
I have a couple of spare eggs if you want to trade
RE: Kris' Egg Swap! [OPEN] - Tenebris_Kane - Oct 26, 2017
The thread went dead again...
If anyone wants to swap eggs I will be online for a little while tommorow evening (UK time) and I plan to be online over the weekend; I will have around 10 available by tomorrow night.

@Tenebris_Kane Hey, I have a like a box full of eggs if you or anyone else wants to trade!
RE: Kris' Egg Swap! [OPEN] - wartty - Oct 27, 2017
Got a couple eggs laying around from this past week, any takers?? Except you @Tenebris_Kane :p
RE: Kris' Egg Swap! [OPEN] - turtkko - Oct 27, 2017
@wartty Wanna trade some eggs? How many do you have?
RE: Kris' Egg Swap! [OPEN] - Tenebris_Kane - Oct 28, 2017
@turtkko
I have exactly a box that I believe has no doubles if you want to do the biggest trade this thread has ever seen
Pretty much all of them should be around 5IV the main exceptions are bred from hidden power Pokémon
RE: Kris' Egg Swap! [OPEN] - turtkko - Oct 28, 2017
@Tenebris_Kane Sure, why not?
I'm not sure if I have doubles though, and I have absolutely no idea about the IVs haha Most of them should be Pokemon from other regions though
Let me know when you wanna trade!
RE: Kris' Egg Swap! [OPEN] - Tenebris_Kane - Oct 28, 2017
@turtkko
I can trade now If you are free, I will add your friend code and head to plaza since my DS is just sitting in front of me anyway at the minute.
