Is Whimsicott good in Standard?

Its hardest-hitting attack is Wondrous Cotton on Whimsicott ex (White Flare), doing 50× for 1 Energy. The bulkiest version is Whimsicott ex with 230 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. 3 versions have free retreat, which makes Whimsicott easy to switch in and out. Watch out for Fire attackers — that's its weakness.
