Yay, round 2 entries! ^_^

HP: 10/10 Really low for Stage 2 -ex, but it balances the card.
Type: 10/10
Size: 10/10
Body: 40/50 Cotton Spore is like Silver Sparkle, but a tad bit worse since it doesn't go back to the hand, but rather to someone else - it's entirely worthless if your opponent has no other monsters in play. You can also word Cotton Spore like Silver Sparkle, but mix some baby rule/smokescreen effect action in there so it makes sense. Also, numbers are always numbers - you got it right in the attack, but not in the body. Moving on to the attack, The first effect is broken. How hard is it to get 1 damage counter on each of your Pokémon? You'll be doing 30 and healing 60, all the time, for a single Energy. It's a bit unfair. The second effect is fine. I don't think there is anything wrong with having Jumpluff have nothing but single-Energy attacks, but in doing so, you are required to weaken it to balance out the Energy cost. It's a bad trade, I think. (No points taken away for that.)
Bottom Stats: 10/10
Total Score: 90/100

Body: 44/50 It's fair, but it's not really that great. Paying 4 for 100 is never bad, but if you flip tails, you're a weak piece of crap. He's not exactly easy to get out of the Active spot, either. More wording errors... seems to be a staple of just about everyone. Good job limiting Ghostly Curse to once per turn.
Bottom Stats: 10/10 Not sure he requires double WK/RS.
Total Score: 96/100

HP: 9/10 He has nothing that warrants such low HP.
Type: 10/10
Size: 10/10
Body: 39/50 The power is almost entirely useless. Sonic Wave is weak. Bat Swarm Assault's maximum damage is 120, which isn't all that hard to pull off. I guess it's fair. Many wording errors.
Bottom Stats: 10/10

HP: 10/10
Type: 10/10
Size: 10/10 Probably just barely fits. Benefit of the doubt.
Body: 30/50 The body is unfair. This is a Stage 2 -ex; it is highly likely he will take damage all the time, moreso if you heal it. The unfairness continues if you Rare Candy into it; by turn 2 you can be doing an almost-swiftlike 60 for 2 unless they constantly pass, in which case they will obviously lose. I don't think you even tried to get real-sounding wording, so I'm taking off 10 points. Hyper Beam is really the only fine thing about this card.
Bottom Stats: 8/10 Dragonite doesn't resist Lightning. I don't care what any other card says. Also, no retreat is unfair.

Body: 44/50 I'm not sure why you would want to damage everyone. You'll need some italic parentheses saying it hits your monsters too, for clarification. A single attack... meh. Weak to Amnesia lol (no point loss). I guess it's okay. I don't think I'd use him. You also discard "an" Energy, not "1" Energy, when attacking.
