Strategy:
So the strategy is to item lock with Trevenant and Seismitoad EX. Supporting Pokemon are Electrode and Slurpuff for drawing cards.
I only included 2 Electrode and 1 Slurpuff because many people on a budget won't have Slurpuff as they are more expensive and always get out of stock than Electrode so I guess they are descent replacements. And only 2 Seismitoad EX as they are pretty expensive and get out of stock quickly.

For the items, there are lots of energy removals and a bunch of muscle bands as all the attacks are weak. I only included 2 hypnotoxic lazer as I couldn't find space for more but you can replace some Muscle Bands stuff to have more if you want. I couldn't find any good ACE Spec to go for this. Computer Search is too expensive for those on a budget and it is harder to find now. Teammates is the best replacement for that.

There's no Virbank City Gym because people on a budget probably wouldn't want to spent around $7 US or $7-10 CAN on just one stadium but is possible to include it in this. You'll lose the ability to heal Seismitoad EX and keep the Quaking Punch going for longer.

-1 Voltorb (Only run one of this line... you rarely need more than one)
-1 Electrode (^)
-1 Evosoda (It is better for a more versatile search card)
-1 Shauna (Bad draw card)
-1 Teammates (You don't need two, otherwise you lose consistency)
-1 Head Ringer (If you have the money for this, then you have the money for other cards that could be more beneficial. Plus, a 1-off is not very helpful.)
-2 Jamming Net (Really only useful if you are use Manectric)
-1 Float Stone (Switch is better)
-2 Laser (There is like no point on running this without the Stadium - 10 damage is measly!)
-1 Rough Seas/Dimension Valley (Only run 1, otherwise you are going to be inconsistent. If you are planning on attacking with Trev a lot, then you are going to want the Valley).
-1 DCE (Come on, only two of your cards in the deck can actually use this efficiently... so no point having 4!)

+2 Sycamore (Staple 4)
+2 Ultra Ball (Staple 3/4)
+3 VS Seeker (Staple)
+1 Swirlix (See v)
+1 Slurpluff (If you can afford things like the Flare gears, I don't see why this isn't a problem. I guess you can swap this line for 2 more Toad-EX - or even Mew-EX - which would also function nicer.)
+1 Switch (Two works nicely here)
+2 Dimension Valley (Consistency)
+1 Psychic Energy/Super Scoop Up (Consistency)


I can also see this as a really good Bats (Golbat + Crobot PHF) deck, to really rack up that damage without a Laserbank. If you choose to do this, I would suggest these changes additionally:

-1 Team Flare Grunt (You have enough disruption)
-1 Muscle Band (You have enough of these)
-1 Crushing Hammer (If you run bats, you won't need as many of these)
-1 Enhanced Hammer (^)
-1 Lysandre (You've got enough of these)
-1 Swirlix(v below)
-1 Slurpuff (You won't really need the draw [or have space] if you go with Bats, especially if you have Electrode)

And these additions:

+2 Sycamore (Staple 4)
+1 Ultra Ball (Staple 3/4)
+3 VS Seeker (Staple)
+1 Super Scoop Up (Consistency)
+1 Dimension Valley (Consistency)
+4 Zubat PHF/PLS
+4 Golbat PHF
+4 Crobat PHF
