Here is a deck I made that is fun to play and cheap/easy to make.

This is a BUDGET FRIENDLY DECK! No Shaymin's here!

This can be copied into TCGO easily and used.

Ok let me explain it.
Snorlax does more damage (And can attack) if it is asleep, and hypno's ability makes your (And your opponents) active Pokemon fall asleep.

Talonflame is for your starting active...Self explanatory
Bunnelby makes a good stall.
Unown for draw support.

Overall it's a super simple deck for newer player's!

[Not for competitive play]

Edit: I forgot that dimension valley is not in rotation! Dalton made a good point below tho that makes the deck work better, so account for that!

We lose Dimension Valley after the rotation.

I might say Fairy Garden and swap psychic energy for fairy, even though that means losing the ability to attack with Hypno.
- 3 dimension valley
- 2 evosoda
-9 psychic energy

+2 level ball
+1 max potion (to stall)
+ 2 Fairy Garden
+9 fairy energy

I once played a deck like this with my competitive deck and lost because of the coin flip luck. Flipped 4 tails for each heads. You can have luck on your side in a deck like this because frail attackers can get destroyed.

I was thinking about adding the fairy garden and energy (Max potion is a new idea I never thought of working, but it makes sense), but I chose not to do it, cause I did not test that. Thanks for the idea and feedback!

Edit: Also thank you for pointing out that: "We lose Dimension Valley after the rotation." Completely slipped my mind!
 
I had trouble beating it because I had to 2-shot the Snorlax. Pokémon Center Lady was a pain for me to deal with. The one thing that let me get closer to winning was to Lysandre the Hypno. Maybe up the line to 2-3.

Maybe add a super rod.
 
One of my league pals also plays a deck like this. He runs two Darkrai-EX from Breakpoint and a couple All Night Party with Hypno and Snorlax. I can tell you that Max Elixirs and Fighting Fury Belts will be your best friends in this deck.

I agree!
 
I wouldn't necessarily reccomend playing talonflame if you only use one. Because then your chances are slimmer and you could just put in another trainer.
 
New and improved! Now with natural fairy flavoring!
