If Darkrai Lv.X uses Endless Darkness against my active Pokemon, and my benched Xatu transfers that super sleep to Darkrai, would my opponent need to flip two coins? In other words, is the effect of Endless Darkness on the Asleep condition, or is it on my Pokemon specifically?
 
The effect is attached to the Asleep condition (discussed here), but it's not attached in the physical sense. If anything happens to the Special Condition, the "link" between them breaks, and the added effect is destroyed, as it is no longer attached to anything.

So when you move Endless Darkness' Asleep, it loses the extra effect and becomes normal Asleep.
