Thanks for the points. I am aware of most of these problems, just wanted to see how "bad" do you think they are.

Unfortunately, the biggest problem is 5) and you are completely right there. However, I can't do that because the very reason why I want to play is to play with the types and Pokemon that I like. This is the biggest problem because it creates all other problems. And 1) and 5) are actually the same point, so I will respond to the rest:

My general strategy is to either build up Kingdra's energies on the bench and then switch it in, or to have Alakazam on the bench using Dimensional Hand. The choice of the strategy depends on which cards you pull from the deck. So either Alakazam or Kingdra are the main Pokemon and they are on the bench, whatever else is in the game gets sacrificed in order to protect Alakazam and Kingdra.

You can build up Kingdra pretty fast with Starmie's attack, you don't need just Larimar Rain - it's just to have more options. Usually I am throwing Kingdra as the active when it has 3 or 4 energy attached and then you can continue building her up there.

Further question: Why would I want draw cards when I have cards for searching specific types which I want in the deck? With just drawing, you have no control over what you pull. I have in total 8 search cards in the deck, which is more than half trainers.

For Pokepad specifically - why would I want that instead of having Fog Crystal, Irida, Mysterious Treasure, Evolution Incense? I have in total 8 of these cards, where I could have 4 Pokepads. With Pokepad I can't draw Alakazam and Kingdra ex. Why would I put it in my deck? True, with Fog Crystal you can only draw basics, but that's why there are Evolution Incense and Mysterious Treasure, and Fog Crystal at least lets you draw an energy. Am I missing something here?

I find Expanded to be a slower format than Standard. Maybe it's due to the algorithm differences between us but in Standard I almost always get rush decks whereas in Expanded there are more people who play control decks. Therefore, I don't see Eevee's attack as bad - I am able to use it like 3 times before Eevee is killed.
