It's nice to see you have a decent grasp on card text formatting and PSCT. And yet... you have mistakes all across the cards, and even some texts you write right in a card, but you write them wrong in another one. I find that a bit odd. Your most glaring mistake is writing "during either player's turn". That sentence is outdated and now it's integrated in the "(Quick Effect)" clause. That means you no longer have to write the "during either player's turn" line. Also in other cases, you out the "(Quick Effect)" clause after the cost, when it goes before costs. In other cases you give an "once per turn" to an effect, but then end the card with a "You can only use each effect of X once per turn" making the first OPT clause redundant.
Fixing Catalyst, it would look like this:
During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can reveal 1 "Gravial" monster from your hand; send 1 monster with the same name from your Deck to the GY. When this card is sent from the field to the GY; send 1 "Catalyst of the Gravial" from your Deck to the GY. (Quick Effect): You can banish this card and another card with the same name from your GY; Special Summon  1 Level 4 or lower "Gravial" monster from your hand. You can only use each effect of "Catalyst of the Gravial" once per turn.

Anyway, these look solid enough. They got staple effect like searching, Special Summoning, a couple of negations. I'm curious about their gimmick though: sending copies of themselves to the GY. Most cards do it, even the Spell/Traps, and while copies are needed to activate some of their effects, I have yet to find how the Spell/Traps and Xyzs benefit from sending copies of themselves to the GY. I was wondering if a Field Spell or otherwise key card of the archetype would let you retrieve cards from the GY if there is another copy of them in the GY, but I don't see such effect. All I see is them grabbing from the Deck, and sending a copy from Deck to the GY, restricting the number of times you can use the effect to 1 unless you run Deck-restacking effects.
