Is a Pyukumuku & Pincurchin duo viable?

I noticed these two Pokémon look very similar. After doing some research I came to the conclusion that they have a lot of potential when using them in a double battle. So what do you think of this duo?

Pyukumuku (Water)•Ability: Unaware•Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)•EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef•Item: Leftovers / Sitrus Berry­-Soak­-Toxic­-Counter­-Recover / Venom Drench

This one is used as a wall while also being able to stall with Toxic. Soak makes the opponent a water-type which will be weak to Pincurchin’s Thunderbolt/Thunder. Soak also enables the move Toxic to be used on steel-types. Counter is its only attack and can hit pretty hard after taking some damage. For the last move I’m leaning more towards Recover, but Venom Drench isn’t a bad choice either. As for the item, should I pick a Leftovers or a Sitrus Berry?

Pincurchin (Electric)•Ability: Lightning Rod•Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)•EVs: 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef•Item: Kee Berry / Shuca Berry / Chesto Berry / Expert Belt­-Thunderbolt / Thunder­-Venoshock-Protect­-Recover / Rest / Venom Drench / Hex

This is the main attacker of the duo. Lightning Rod draws in electric moves, which Pyukumuku is weak to, leaving its only other weakness being grass. Venoshock will be great against grass-types especially when they are poisoned. I honestly prefer Thunderbolt over Thunder because of the accuracy, but both will do just fine. Protect is there in case the opponent uses a ground move. Now I’m having some trouble with its last move. Hex could be used as coverage and the Toxic combo will inflict quite a lot of damager. On the other hand Recover or Rest + Chesto Berry heals our little fellow. Venom Drench is again a great status move as well. What do you guys suggest? The item also depends a bit on the final move, but my pick would be a Kee Berry or a Shuca Berry.

They might be good, but there are almost definitely better options.

Milotic is a better defensive water. Its coil, muddy water, competitive, and higher HP and special attack means it’s better at taking and dealing damage. Milotic can also learn hypnosis.

Toxtricity is a better electric attacker mostly because it has higher special attack and speed. It can also learn volt switch.
