Standard 2018 Standard Budget Semi-Competitive Deck Ideas?

[FierySplash]

Hey guys, coming back to Pokemon after 6-7 months, I have 2 Volcanion-EX and 3 Flareon-EX which I had originally bought to build a deck but ended up quitting. If you guys could give me ideas using those cards or even decks without using those cards, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
FierySplash

Volcanion will be one of the best decks next format and will be relatively cheap.

Tapu Lele GX is not fitting for my budget.

Tapu Lele GX is not fitting for my budget.

I didn't say copy the list, I just gave for some inspiration. You don't need the Leles.

Everyone will hate you, but I think Sylveon GX is a really fun deck. I've been play testing it and it is very effective.

To be totally honest, pretty much any post rotation deck without Lele is less than $50.

greninja is probably the best budget deck and it does not want to run leles

heres some semi competitive budget decks, they are low tier so likely only league decks atm.

passimian/mew
golduck/starmie
promo tapu koko/honchkrow

Imo best competitive decks that don't need Lele (thus making them quite budget-friendly) are:

Volcanion - Volcanion already needs a lot of bench space to reliably execute its strategy, so other than the staple first turn Lele-Brigette, I am not sure how Volcanion could benefit from running more than 1, if any.
Passimian/Mew - Pretty much the same could be said for this one as well, except that it doesn't have the same competitive potential as Volcanion. Still a strong deck though.

I'd also want to say Greninja Break, but I'm not sure how budget it is right now/will be, you'd want to have at least 3 Breaks in that deck, and the deck's popularity seems to have grown (even more) lately which means they might become expensive. (Still not as overkill as the Leles I'd say.) The deck also loses a lot of support after rotation, which might make it a bit clunky, but at the same time it benefits greatly from the new Guzma supporter.
