OK, this is most emphatically NOT one of my budget decks. In fact, it's
really way too expensive. But it's a really fun toy, and I wanted to
share it with the cool folks on the Pojo.

Some of it looks like a Haymaker, and some of it looks like a Potpourri.
Regardless, the thing that makes it FUN is the joy of playing with all
three of the Eevee evolutions. (: Wheeee!

-----------------------------
The Amazing Evolving Eevees!
 
10 Fire Energy
10 Electric Energy
4 Double Colorless Energy

3 Magmar (Fossil)
2 Electabuzz
2 Scyther
1 Ditto
4 Eevee (Jungle)
2 Flareon
2 Jolteon
2 Vaporeon

3 Gust of Wind
3 Switch
3 Bill
2 Professor Oak
2 Energy Removal
2 Pokemon Trader
2 Computer Search
1 Item Finder
-----------------------------

How does it work?
Basically, you pick your Pokemon to match up to your opponent's
weakness. Water? Here come Jolteon and Electabuzz. Fire? Here's
Vaporeon. Grass? Hellooooo Flareon and Magmar. It works well, because
all of the Eevee evolutions have a two-colorless Quick Attack, that
minimally does 20 to a weak Pokemon, and can do a whopping 60 fifty
percent of the time -- on two energy! With it themed as a Fire/Electric
deck, Flareon and Jolteon can also use their second attacks for more
juice if necessary.

Scyther handles Fighting, that nice resistant Eevee handles Psychic
(mostly, 'cept those new Dark Kadabras), and Ditto takes care of
anything too big or too weird, like fully-charged Ninetales, Koffings,
and Promo Mewtwos. The deck could probably deal with another Ditto in
it, but I don't have one.

I chose to go with a bunch of Big Basics like Scyther, Magmar, and
Electabuzz because with so much evolution invested in Eevee, I didn't
feel that there was any room to squeeze in another set of evolvers.

I dunno .... don't those unused Eevee evolutions get in the way?
Nope! The great thing is that you can use the Eevee evolutions that
you're not using (say you're facing a Fighting deck -- you're not gonna
use that Jolteon!) for the cannon fodder for your Pokemon Traders and
Computer Searches. You're not really losing all that much in this case,
as you're doing a very surgical attack on their deck's weaknesses.

I am sure that some of the new Rocket trainers could juice this thing up
even better, but I don't really have enough to experiment with them yet.
I suspect that Challenge! would be a great benefit to this deck.
Regardless, I've been very satisfied with the deck's performance so far.
It's about a 90% winner for me, and loses pretty much only when it gets
Pokemon-hosed. Please feel free to copy it and try it out. I would love
to hear any feedback or constructive criticism.
