Effects

Double Hit deals damage and will strike twice (with 35 base power each time).

Each strike of Double Hit is treated like a separate attack:

Each strike can get a critical hit independently.
Abilities that activate on contact (Static, Weak Armor, Iron Barbs etc.) activate for each strike.
If the Sturdy ability, Focus Sash, or Focus Band activates before the final hit, the subsequent hit will still deal damage and therefore cause the opponent to faint.
If the first hit breaks a Substitute, the second hit will deal damage to the target Pokémon.

The move Counter only counters the final hit, but Bide counters the complete damage.

Evolution

Aipom evolves into Ambipom after learning Double Hit - learnt at level 32.

Changes

In Generation 4, if a Focus Sash or Focus Band activates before the final hit, subsequent hits do not cause the holder to faint.
