Very inexpensive. If I had to put a price on total...

Just including Weavile Electrodes and Eggs (as they are the only real pokemon you need) maybe including an Absol or two..

If say $50. And I'm probably over pricing it.

Pokemon Catchers are the killer..so if you have them..or can proxy them..there you go.

Weavile doesn't need catchers that much though..so no worries.

The items are gonna be the stuff that will make you pay (slightly)

Is this a good budget deck? If so, whats the price tag?

I'm on a bit of a budget myself, and this was the deck I turned to in my hour of need.

If you're going for the electrode version, (4x-Sneasel, Weavile, Exeggcute, 3x Voltorb, 3x Electrode) you'll be dropping a whooping $10.

If you switch it up from some Darkrai EX, Mewtwo EX, Absol, or Sableye you'll be adding about $20 onto the deck (depending on the combination it might go up or down).

Supporters (full compliment of Juniper, N, Cheren) will require another $10-15, depending on how many of each you decide to go with.

Items aren't too bad (catcher aside) and will come in around another $15, assuming you go with patches, level balls, Hypnotoxin, and super rods.

The expensive stuff, really, are just the staples that are suggested for most every deck: Pokemon Catchers will cost between $15-20, Ace specs (computer search or dowsing machine) roughly $10, and if you want Ultra Balls you'll be dropping ~$6 each.

Full 'cost effecient' version can be built for around $50, shipped, for everything to at least make a showing in your next tournament.

Hope this helps!
 
Was play testing the second deck list that was posted last night and on just a side note, Dark claw + 2 deoxy's on the bench = Weavile hitting EVERYTHING for 50 on your side of the board. It was gross. I personally would want dark claw in there. Have you found Mime to be truly helpful?

And btw, this deck got her to enjoy the game again. She was devastated playing her Darkrai deck and loosing constantly after Freeze came out. This deck is a lot of fun for sure!

This is what I was thinking. If you got rescue scarf, I don't think you need super rod, and if you're only running 2 colress machine, then why run 3 plasma energy. The chance of just drawing that third seems slim. I think the claw is greater than the energy or super rod personally. More DPT ftw.

Also consider putting in a 2-2 line of electrocute sine it's a very popular and solid choice of draw support in the deck. It also helps you to set up quicker, and since its ability 'magnetic draw' is so smiler to that of magnezone primes it is defiantly worth playing since magnezone was a great card because of its ability. A 2-2 line will help you against a lot of Mach ups like TDK and other fast decks.

I wouldnt not with electrode. Reason why is that you have to set it up which takes the spot off deoxys and also your using up pokemon you can use to dump for vilify.

Animus just to let you know if you mean 50 to everybody using hail then you have been cheating ;) you need to read the card and it will tell you "active" only. means youll be doing 50 to the main pokemon (unless it has weakness) and 10 to all of the opposing bench.

This is what I am running currently and is proving to be quite nasty...

In the deck there is no real use for deoxys, electrocute would be a much better option since you need to get set up quickly.
 
but youll need to set him up first I really dont see a need for him :/ he's low health as well so can help give out prizes. his ability isnt that amazing and he just gets in the way I think. set up your weavile and a darkrai and grab eggs using either level ball to find them or discarding them with juniper which is what i do alot in this deck.

id rather have more card like bicycle if its a choice over the 2.
 
Don't run ghetsis in the deck, it may be good in some situations but its not as good as other draw supporters. More importantly I would run 4 N and 4 juniper since they are staple in the deck to help get out resources which ghetsis can't really do as well. N and juniper would be a much better choice over ghetsis.

Also that's why you NEED electrocute. In this deck it's staple to get out resources and electrocute is one of the best cards for doing that. It helps you set up early game and helps to keep you going late game. It may have low hp but its not really going to be targeted by your opponent. At lest run a 1-1 line, you need them so the deck can work, If you don't you'll probably find your self running out of resources late game like I have done while play testing the deck. You defiantly need to consider adding electrocute in your list.

Ill leave him out I dont see him being helpful when he takes up poke space like for dumping or even benched stuff :/ just make the deck straight forward and youll be fine.

I have used ghetsis really well and annoyed my opponents more then once but thats all about the play and the way the player uses that opportunity. but maybe switching for more n's and junipers maybe a good idea.

3 Weavile
4 Exeggcute
2 Sableye
2 Darkrai ex
1 Keldeo ex

12 dark basic
