So If I have a Bronzong from Next Destinies on my bench. His abilities states that damage cannot be HEALED only moved from pokemon to pokemon.

But what If i were to use

Lopunny – Colorless – HP90
Stage 1 – Evolves from Buneary

[C] Healing Song. Flip a coin. If heads, all your Pokemon recover 60 HP.

Does Bronzong's ability cancel Healing Song out? Or can you recover. but not Heal?
 
Bronzong's ability would cancel Healing Song out. Recovering 60 HP and being Healed 60 damage is the same thing, except with different words. Bronzong's ability would also cancel out any cards that said "Remove X damage counters" from a Pokémon. Even though it doesn't say the word "Heal", it is still the same process.

Also, in the future, please try to post a scan of each card you have a question on. It just makes things easier. Thanks!
 
The wording in English would be:
Flip a coin. If heads, heal 60 damage from each of your Pokemon.

Healing and removing damage counters are essentially the same thing. (Look at Solrock from Triumphant, who also has the Heal Block ability.)
