I just said you shouldn't use Surf -_- Every time you use it, the partner Pokémon has to either Protect or take a hard hit. It's really only viable on rain teams where you're likely to have multiple Water resists/immunities. I'd also recommend against CM in general - setup moves are usually a bad idea in doubles, especially on a Pokémon with no spread moves.

Why shoot blindly in every direction until you're lucky enough to hit the target when you can just take the time to aim properly and hit it with one shot?
