Hey everyone! I've been looking for a cheap donk deck that could be around tier two and I've found one! Please contribute your posts and criticism and here's the deck:

Pokemon 11

4 Illumise
4 Volbeat
2 Fliptini
1 Cleffa

Supporters 11

3 PONT
4 Collectors
3 Juniper
1 Fisherman

Trainers 28

4 Dual Balls
4 Junk Arms
4 Poke Gear
4 Plus Power
4 Switch
4 Comm.
4 Revive

Energy 10

10 Grass

So the point of this deck is to get out Illumise as starter and get a full or partly full bench of Volbeat. Out of all my tests it only donked once and won mid-game more. I would like to make it more prone to donking but it's probably just luck. Thanks for your time and rate, test, and post.
 
RE: Firefly Donk

You don't actually need Pokemon Communication in here, unless your 4 Collectors and 4 dual balls aren't doing it for you; all of your Pokemon are basic.
 
RE: Firefly Donk

Well, Pokemon Catcher never hurt, but I feel like that would violate the 'cheap' prerequisite for this deck. You could add eviolite; that way, you won't be one hit koed by Yanmega.
 
RE: Firefly Donk

Didn't this top eight canadian nationals in Juniors? And that was before Fliptini! You could possibly use the likes of Pichu and Stantler to get out basics quicker.
 
RE: Firefly Donk

^ That kills the point of a donk. If it's a donk deck, you need to beat them T1. I'd add some seeker to help get the T1 donk

=15

+1 rotom UD
+4 Pokemon Catcher
+3 Victory medal
+2 Max Potion OR Super Scoop up
+2 Seeker
+1 DCE
+1 Energy Retrieval
+1 Alpha Lithograph (prize looking one)

so you need the rotom plus alpha is the the only way to know to get prized volbeats
seeker helps with the donk and catcher is a staple in this deck
victory medal is really really good in this deck if you dont have it well you could ad the pokegear back in and something else.
Max potion can be replaced with super scoop its personal preference really.
DCE is so you can attack with volbeat against things like goth if they get set up and stuff it will help trust me.
 
RE: Firefly Donk

Instead of Fisherman, Energy retrieval could be more helpful, and you dont need 4 energy back anyway. Also, maybe Super rod instead of retrieval, to get back Illuminise.
