that is a good question... consider that i played the 2nd generation game (ruby or similar) from the begininng, just to be able to capture and breed a slaking, 'cause that was the only game where it was possible to teach slaking double-edge.
the reason for double edge over giga impact is clearly for accuracy, remembering that this slaking was intended exlusivly for use in the battle tower... in the long run, giga impact will eventually fail... and considering that you will not be able to attack the next turn, that means that you'll have to whitstand 2 (3 if opponent is faster, 4 if opponent is faster and you switched-in) hits before being able to retaliate....that means that you probably won't have a second chance.. so i preferred the 100% accuracy, over the power of gigaimpact.... (anyway, a choiced banded - adamant - 31 iv & 252 ev attack - slaking's double edge, is something that destroys most pokemon in the game...)
