- PTCG/O Budget decklists for the 2020-2021 Season
- Updated May 11 2020
- May 11 2020 - Added Nidoqueen, Noctowl, Obstagoon
- August 10 2020 - Update in progress, added some decks in preparation for Darkness Ablaze
- So you already made the jump from Theme to Standard (using the OP guide as reference, I expect) but are unable to win shit because those damn Jirachis and Dedennes are way too expensive?
- You can't win with your homebrew decklist and now want some revenge against meta decks?
- Or are you simply too lazy to create a new decklist and want to try something new, that won't cost you an arm and a leg?
- You just came to the right place, anon. Here I am working on a repository for budget decklists that are legal for the 2021-2022 season. Have a suggestion? Post it on the general and get feedback, if it's decent enough it will possibly get in here. Meanwhile, there's some points to keep in mind.
- 1. Lists posted here should be considered skeletons or templates to build from. You may actually have a copy of Jirachi or a powerful yet expensive attacker in your collection, so, if you have the option to build a more potent/consistent version, go for it! Most of the time, card counts and specific additions are up to the player's taste, playtesting, and your personal collection.
- 2. The decklists here are budgetized - while most meta decks will run lower counts of draw supporters, support Pokémon and tech choices, here you will need to use filler items like Acro Bikes or Judge Whistle and increase the counts of draw/consistency supporters, while also using otherwise "mediocre" draw cards, if adapted to your playstyle and deck.
- 3. ADP variants, and stuff like Mallow & Lana, shit hard on the concept of the "single-prize, single-energy" attacker that permeated most of the viable budget decklists pre-Cosmic Eclipse (and, in fact, it is rumoured that TPCi printed it as a way to try to push players into using the new, shiny and expensive Tag Team GX/V-Max Pokémon), and the deck is still a hard loss for most of these. Don't let that discourage you from trying them, tho! Ladder eventually fixes around your "power level", so at lower ELO it's probable you will have more fun with these lists.
- You can search for the tags - type, non-gx, beatdown, spread or control - added to each deck which indicate the typing and the playstyle. All decklists posted here are under 15 packs for the main Pokémon engine and niche trainers they use - I won't bother writing a cost in this guide since Pokémon and trainer trade prices are extremely volatile, so if something stops being budget, I will simply try to update the guide to reflect it.
- Adding to that, I won't be considering Marnie and Boss's Orders as part of the cost for every deck - these are shaping up to be staples for the upcoming format, so try to trade for them. Literally all your decks will appreciate the boost they provide.

- Two copies of Laser Focus get you the skeleton of a deck that can compete on the level of a meta one. The Malamar engine is contained enough that you can add other attackers relevant to your playstyle and/or problematic match-ups. This is the most standard-ish version of the deck, using Giratina and Spell Tags to soften targets, and Blacephalon/Espurr/Lunaleo to finish them off. Audino is a ghetto version of Jirachi, and while not as good, it provides you with a good pivot and extra cards every single turn. Use Latios-GX attack in order to permanently lock down Altered Creation - beware of the 2 prizes liability that it will become afterwards, tho.
- How to improve: The Ultra Necrozma version has been making some waves for some god-forsaken reason, I guess being able to OHKO Dragapult and other V-Maxes is that appealing despite you needing to setup multiple Malamars and/or shit out Beast Rings. Giratina & Garchomp GX can add some needed punch to the deck, but the dual energy splits can be bothersome. Maybe replace Viridians for Sky Pillars? There's a lot you can do here depending on what's popular on your ladder.

- With one of the heaviest Pokémon counts in the format (for a semi-viable deck), the hands of this deck can get a bit overcrowded. Oricorio provides some needed draw power, the rest is standard Lost March-fare. Try to maxx out in consistency and just take the loss against Dragapult V-Max.
- How to improve: You can try to run Sky Pillar to prevent Dragapult from taking a fat shit on your deck, but believe me when I tell you will still lose 90% of the time. Pheromosa & Buzzwole-GX provide a way to close out a game against a sufficiently weakened target, but it's a terrible starter. Scoop-Up Net can allow you to recover some mons to Lost Blender them.

- There's a TON to unpack here. Beheeyem uses the proven tactic of hitting and running, while you use an assorted group of walls to deny your opponent prizes or attacking options. Silvally-GX draws from your deck without decking you out, which is important because matches with this deck can be VERY LOOOOOOONG. It also isn't bait for Dragapult V-Max like Pidgeotto is. Alternate between Mr. Mimes depending on your opponent's attackers - be wary of attack modifiers or Power Plant if you didn't place a Swell on field beforehand. Stealthy Hood can keep a Mr. Mime/Persian lock in play even with Mimikyu in the opponent's side. Try to hit those Guzma & Halas early for early Swell + Mysterious Noise locks.
- Techs/options: Alolan-Ninetales (TEU) can outright lock attacks from GX mons, but those are falling by the wayside thanks to the introduction of V Pokémon. Goomy can buy you time if you can't hit a Poké Doll. Power Plant + a Pidgeotto engine can work instead of Silvally, but you would be handing out matches to Dragapult V-Max, and would also be unable to use Mr. Mime. A Galarian Weezing variant has been making the grounds lately, but until we get Hide Darkness Energy in DAA I find the limited number of Switches/Scoop Up Net, or the need to have Silvally-GX (CES) + Air Balloon in play to be a problem.

- The turn 1 no supporter rule took a fat shit on this deck, and called it a bitch. Thanks to this, being donked turn 1 is going to be extremely common, you still lose to most decks even if fully setup, and you still fall short of damage against V/Tag Teams thanks to the max damage output of 240. Honestly, the deck only has meme rep carrying it through, and isn't as fun to play as in release. If you have any suggestions to make it better, tell me, because otherwise I will probably delete it from the pastebin.
- Techs/options: It's a meme deck, what the fuck do you want to change? Maybe change the number of supporters, IDK.

- So there's an Arcanine in Rebel Clash that is also supported by Burning Scarf, to become a 230 HP behemoth that also burns attackers. This, however, isn't that Arcanine. IMO, the one from UNB is significantly better. Benefits include hitting for weakness against Zacian while setting up an attacker on bench, and also having a significantly higher damage output based on your energy management. Victini is the only "expensive" part of this deck, and along with Turtonator it provides you with a potent attacker on late game.
- Techs/Options: Volcanions are somewhat expensive but will enable this deck to setup much better. Heatran-GX setups a powerful hit with its GX attack and can also allow you to play around your energy attachments. Fiery Flints are also expensive, but if you are concerned about Chaotic Swell spam, you can try to run at least 2 copies. Cramorant V can snipe something for 160 - Dedenne is the prime target - if aided by Welder, or powered-up by Arcanine. You can also replace the Salazzle copies for Cinccino - the little guy it's actually not expensive, and you may not want to discard a fire energy, so if you have the copies, you may as well test them.

- So this one can be pretty much made from the contents of two Relentless Flame and two Battle Mind theme decks. Welder + Roaring Resolve, and a single energy attachment gets you to 280 damage in a single turn, enough to OHKO ADP! The good news end there, tho, as the deck is extremely hard to setup without Jirachi, and you may miss a KO or two because Welder sometimes is a bitch. Don't get greedy with the energy discards, as you may miss a KO if you dump too much energy.
- Techs/options: Dragon Turtonator can hit hard, but it's a pain in the ass to have stuck in active, Pal Pad and Mewtwo can recycle your Welders, and Mew prevents spread/sniping from fucking your shit up. It ain't rocket science, shit that I previously mentioned on Arcanine, like Fiery Flint, Heatran GX, Volcanion and Cramorant V also helps you here. A Cinccino engine may be better, because the deck may run out of Fire energy if you discard too many with Salazzle.

- And with this, we end the trifecta of decks (ab)using Welder in order to hit extremely high numbers on the meta. The idea here is to use Magcargo to put something we want on top, and, with Oranguru, switch it with a fire energy on your hand. 180 for RRC is MASSIVE for a single-prize attacker, and you can even use Chip Chip Ice Axe to manipulate your opponent's deck, and, if lucky, can also bump you to 280 damage, enough to OHKO most Tag Teams, and heavily dent V-Max Pokémon. The deck is heavily hungry for resources after a KO (hence the inclusion of Lucky Egg), tho, and three stage-1 lines may lead to an overabundance of critters in your hand.
- Techs/options: A 1-1 Clefable RCL line can replace Magcargo, provide you with disruption and also guarantee a 280 Ground Burn alongside Oranguru, but you would preferably need Jirachi to setup your draws and Magmars beforehand. Scoop-Up Net can allow you to re-use them and Jirachi. Orbeetle SSH is a re-usable Chip-Chip Ice Axe, but it takes a lot of setup to get rolling.

- Fuck shit up when you get lucky with coin flips, attack for big damage once you get the ball rolling with Porygon-Z, and cry badly when you get fucked by Boss's Orders targeting your Porygons. You want to Toy Box-GX as soon as possible to get all your combo pieces ready - so, beware of Reset Stamps and Marnies. Diantha is the only way the deck has to recover special energies, particularly the Triple Acceleration Energy. I had an idea about using Ribombee to protect the Porygons in bench, but it turns out that since Boss's Orders targets THE MON IN BENCH rather than the active, it does jackshit for this deck, so eat up the gust, and try to always be able to setup a second Porygon-Z.
- Techs/options: There isn't really much to do to counter your weaknesses. Gust and hand disruption are your biggest enemies - and Dedennes are too expensive, but hey, include 1 if you have it. Play around your Fairy Charm inclusions depending on the decks you are facing, but don't dip too hard in them since V mons get around the damage lock. Draw Energy provides a different kind of setup and additional ways to dig for TAE, but I have found Capture Energy to be way more valuable on the starting turns. You may use more Dianthas, but the way your setup works, your opponent will probably target Porygon-Z or Oricorio-GX in your bench rather than risking it against Whimsicott-GX.

- That's right, a no energy deck. It's a fucking meme of course, but it can be fun to play and Ninetales is also Fairy-type, so ADP can be hit for weakness. You grab as many items as possible with Adventure Bag and Acro Bike, then discard the ones that are not useful in a particular match-up; Giant Bomb and the relevant Fairy Charms are the tools you probably want to keep on your hand, given how much they can help in match-ups. The Recycle Energy is there to attack against Goomy pivots, which otherwise take a fat shit over this deck, and also provides you with a way to pivot around if there's an Absol in play. Max 200 damage may be a bit on the lower side, so play around your tool numbers if you are concerned about hitting for more damage - keep in mind that this deck is already inconsistent as fuck.
- Techs/options: Relevant tool options are few and far between in this meta, but you are welcome to try others like Metal Core Barrier (which discards itself), Island Challenge Amulet for Oricorio-GX, or Cursed Shovel. Tool Scrapper gives you a way to counter the opponent's tool usage, and may also have some fringe uses for your own mons, but you usually want to discard the tools from your hand anyway. You can try a more Rotom-focused version of this deck - for this, FLI Rotom hits the hardest and is also compatible with Spell Tag. Frost Rotom can also hit hard against Welder-based decks, but those are getting less and less prominent by the day.

- Granbull is somewhat more viable with the addition of Galarian Meowth, which is significantly better than Electromagnetic Radar and Duskull as a discard outlet. Air Balloon allows you to pivot around, Pal Pad and Diantha allow you constant recycling of your resources, and Galarian Meowth and the optional triggers of the deck should allow you to easily discard a hand of 5 after using Marnie.
- Techs/options: Custom Catcher is somewhat helpful with both of its effects here, and you can recover a playset or missing piece with Diantha, but is pretty much a 4-of, and its role as hand recovery is pretty much outclassed by Lucky Egg and Oricorio-GX. Lillie's Full Force and Professor's Research are more conservative/destructive draw supporters than the playset of Marnie, but sometimes you may draw a hand full of supporters after Research, with no way to discard them all. Giant Bomb allows you to deal some additional damage, but the window of use is tight, and it can be played around with gust.

- These 2 decks basically play the same way - put Absol in bench to increase retreat cost to the max, Galar Mine to add 2 more, for 180 max damage added against basic Pokémon - but Tangrowth is significantly more consistent, since it has the option to play Net Ball and PheroBuzz to finish off targets and gain prizes. Probopass being Metal type - significantly better in this meta - doesn't mean much since it has 140 HP, low enough for every significant attacker to OHKO, and Metal Saucer/Metal Frying Pan don't do much in this version of the deck. Its biggest advantage tho, is not having its damage cut even lower against Zacian-V - 4 Absols + a Galar Mine = 250 damage, which is enough to OHKO a Zacian V even through Metal Frying Pan - a feat Tangrowth can only replicate with 4 Absols, a Galar Mine and Tool Scrapper if the Zacian has Frying Pan attached.
- Alternate options: The decks have a very narrow focus that makes it a bit hard to play additional attackers in them - the Mimikyu copycat package is inconsistent enough. You can try to play Probopass to its full strength, but that would require a copy of Zacian-V, which is antithetical to the whole "budget deck" thing, but if you have it, feel free to run the whole Zacian + Metal Saucer package. Vitality Band can help to OHKO an opposing mon - but I can't find significant targets to justify its inclusion. The decks would really benefit from additional consistency, but also doesn't want to cut into OHKO/2HKO potential by filling the bench with mons other than Absol. Feel free to experiment with stuff like Nugget + Oranguru, or Lucky Eggs in order to provide you that consistency edge you may be missing.

- Starting off a trio of self-mill decks, Chandelure is easily the funniest (IMO) and hardest hitting of the bunch. Your ideal turn 1 is Dunsparce/Gossifleur while going second, setting up 2 Litwick and 2 Sobble if possible. Use Drizzile and Inteleon to search for relevant trainers - most likely Rosa, that instantly setups a Chandelure to attack after a KO. I can't stress how important Oranguru is for this deck - it enables you to put a Chandelure/Ninetales into play with Spirit Burn without leaving it to chance. However, it's also a prominent gust target. I like my decks being able to attack without worrying about losing energy permanently, so I added one Training Court.
- Techs/Options: The Fire/Green's Exploration version of this deck went the way of the dodo with the turn 1 supporter rule, and now chances are you will get donked before doing anything with that variant. You can try a more Fire-focused version of this deck with Magcargo, Charizard, Blaziken and Cinderace, but Chandelure can usually hit high enough numbers by itself. UPR Infernape + FLI Delphox is a fun combo centered around the most underused special condition in the game - burn -, but this is superflous as Incineroar provides a bigger damage boost from the get go and without trying to setup two Pokémon largely useless by themselves. Maybe run an Air Balloon so Oranguru can freely pivot around if it gets gusted?

- This deck is largely one-dimensional, but it counters PikaZekrom (and Eternatus) like nothing else in the format can. Half the deck is recovery tools so you don't die to your own Drill Bazooka, and Phione provides you with a self-recycling Bench Pokémon so you can avoid the deck-out when you are on Eleventh Hour Tackle range. The other half of the deck is centered around discarding as much as the deck as possible so you can start spamming +180 damage attacks.
- Techs/options: The deck's attacking engine is compact enough to consider options like Buzzmosa and Copycat Mimikyus, with their respective Grass, Fairy and Psychic energies, but Drill Bazooka is dangerous enough you may discard important resources like your 1-off energies, Counter Gain or the mon itself, showing your hand too early in the relevant match-ups, or requiring too much recovery, and be unable to attack in the turn when they would have been useful. There's a Spiritomb variant running around, but I find that deck to be a boring mess.

- This deck contrasts with Excadrill by hitting harder at the starting turns and killing support mons by discarding less cards, but being unable to hit for weakness and also stuck at max 180 damage. I added a Welder engine because discarding your own TAE from top deck is a potential risk, and I feel the Twin Energy + Counter Gain/Capture Energy option is incredibly unreliable thanks to the same self-discard. Disrupt your opponent with Marnie/Boss's Orders the turns where you can grab a TAE with Cinccino/Oricorio; just be careful with Dragapult. Cramorant V hits Dedennes in bench.
- Techs/options: I already mentioned the option of using Twin Energy + Counter Gain as being too uncomfortable to play for me, but if you are such a MADMAN to play 8-10 special energies in a self-mill deck with no recovery option, go ahead. Vitality Band makes you hit for 190, but I found myself hardly hitting any relevant targets at that HP threshold. The Mimikyu copycat package is also playable here, but if you are going hard into Mining Rush (as you should in the match-ups they are relevant to), you will probably dump an important combo piece.

- Fill your bench with Emolga and at least two Pikachu, then attach as many [L] energies as humanely possible through Snuggly Generator, Dance of the Ancients and manual attachments. Reshizekrom is meant as a finisher against targets like Mew3 and ADP - Shrine of Punishment + max power Fabled Firebolts = 280 damage, and the setup (Reshizekrom, Energy Switch, the single Fire Energy) can be grabbed by Rosa after a KO. Sky Pillar is meant to save you from Tag Bolt or assorted bench snipes - if you face Dragapult V-Max, just take the loss. Even if you were to use 3-4 Sky Pillars, that match-up is next to impossible.
- Alternate options: Tool Scrapper may reduce the need for Electropower against Zacian or other mons using Big Charm to deny the KO from Reshizekrom. Boltund V would be a cool option to use in this deck, but it's a bit too expensive. Dedenne can snipe something under 60 HP with Nuzzle Shot, but the fact that the most prominent support Pokémon in the format, Jirachi, is 70 HP, makes it fall short.

- So here's the deal, the version I previously posted WAS FUCKING TRASH. I found myself missing important combo pieces, the Nugget wouldn't hit because Marnie is one silly bitch, and the normal Lightning energy meant to be combo'd with Boltund V just made me brick even more. So I took a page out of the japanese players and added an Inteleon engine, meant to get you to the Rare Candy you desperately need. Since the deck doesn't require much in the way of actual energy, Capture Energy and Speed Lightning help you achieve your setup more consistently.
- Alternate options: Here's where some people would ask "Why not use RCL Vikavolt? It hits for 170 without discarding the Charjabugs, and a fully setup Powerful Storm hits for 240!" Well yeah, but that's with an IDEAL setup, something you will probably hit maybe 2 times out 10. Let's also face the fact that Vikavolt isn't the most sturdy piece of cardboard, so keeping your Charjabugs attached means jack if the Vikavolt will get OHKO'd next turn anyway. Electri-cannon only needs 2 Charjabugs to fully load, and will hit consistently for 220 in addition to Electropowers, which also helps, since prizing one or more Charjabug is incredibly common. The previous version tried to use Boltund V and Koko Prism to load Boltund as a finisher/additional attacker, but it just didn't fit into the whole "setup Vikavolt to hit without caring for energy attachments" thing. You're welcome to try it, but you would probably need Dedennes and Jirachi to make it work.

- Weezing > Koffing, IMO, simply because you don't have a chance to start out with it forcing you to draw into an Air Balloon or wait until it gets KO'd. The plan is simple: spread counters with Roxie + Weezing, force your opponent to take more spread damage through Spell Tag, ,buy turns through the use of Lillie's Poké Doll + Tyrogue to gather enough combo pieces into your hand, and take names with Espurr. Tyrogue is a ghetto Zacian; while it won't make your hand bigger, it has a chance to enable you to spread more counters in benched Pokémon. Recycle Energy is so you don't wrecked by a well timed Wondrous Labyrinth or Goomy pivot.
- Alternate options: You can run additional copies of Koffing if you feel you are missing out on damage from Roxie. A small Cinccino engine may aid consistency, but I found it really hard to make space. Giant Bomb deals more "damage" to an attacking Pokémon, but the window where it's useful can be ignored by gust, and unlike Spell Tag, it will become a wasted resource at the end of that turn. Zacian V is amazing on this deck by allowing you to stall for combo pieces, but it's becoming a really expensive piece of cardboard.

- Anons helped me with this deck, that I have faced some times online. You setup a Meganium with Rare Candy as early as possible, then chain evolutions for attacks (Nidoqueen and Rampardos) and draw power (Inteleon/Swampert). Rampardos with Super Boost Energy and the Nidoqueen/Meganium setup is a OHKO against Tag Team Pokémon. It's kind of linear, but it can also stomp on the unprepared GX/V player when it gets rolling. Guzma & Hala grabs a Shrine, a Counter Gain/Air Balloon, and the special energy to attack with - kind of a big deal on a deck like this that otherwise dies to itself. The standard version uses only 4 TAE and 1 Super Boost Energy, but me, being the tryhard I am, would rather not autolose to single-prize decks - hence the inclusion of Twin Energy + Counter Gain/Capture Energy.
- Alternate options: Oricorio-GX is kind of a given already, maybe increase the number of Swampert in the deck? It is true that Inteleon grabs the Rare Candies, Marnie, etc., the deck needs at a given moment, but unless you have the turn supporter free for Guzma & Hala, you would rather try and grab energies from deck with Swampert. There's some techable stage 2 lockdown options - particularly Fossil Pokémon - but you should try to make your deck as consistent as possible, to start with, rather than starting to run fun options. Vitality Band + Shrine + full bench = OHKO on ADP, but this setup is hard as fuck to achieve, and Rampardos already grabs the OHKO. Maybe try to fit a Great Catcher in there?

- Here's another deck that anons helped me with. You want to get rid of their bench permanently with Noctowl, then use Pidgeot to remove their sole active, achieving a win through one of the most complicated ways possible in the TCG. Target pokémon with heavy energy investment, deny KOs with Lillie's Poké Dolls, and grab combo pieces with Pidgeottos. The deck autoloses to decks that can easily rebuild their bench (Nuzzlechu), and decks that can spread damage (Dragapult V-Max), so be mindful of said match-ups.
- Alternate options: The deck aims to negate prizes, but it's a given that they will take a prize sooner or later, so you can try to fit Lt Surge copies - here, copies of Pal Pad, Brock's Grit, Cynthia & Caitlin, and Bellelba & Brycen-Man would help recovering resources and also add an additional edge to the deck - not only are you denying attackers that would load in the bench, you are also permanently getting rid of their resources. However, a deck like this would definitely benefit more from Oranguru and Cinccino than the original engine presented here, slowly shifting the focus away from the non-standard win condition into a more common mill deck.

- And here we end with what was a meta contender at the start of the SSH format - before everybody and their mother started to use gust on their decks. Obstagoon shits hard on the basic-heavy meta and its line also has incredible synergy with both Sableye-V and Yveltal-GX. The deck can stand on its own without Jirachi, tho' you will definitely miss the added consistency and will be relying more on the Lillie Dolls for extra turns - which is kind of a death sentence in a format with Boss's Orders.
- Alternate options - Scoop Up Net allows you to stack damage counters even more easily, you can include additional copies of Lillie Dolls if you feel you aren't buying enough time to hit your Rare Candy, or additional Counter Gain if you feel your Obstagoon are taking too much time to load. Bede can help loading your Obstagoon and more importantly, Sableye, but has little to no utility otherwise.
