As far as I know, the MMPR still somehow have their original power coins (though damaged), but the ninja coins are gone. The Zeo powers should still exist, but the Turbo ones were lost.

Otherwise, yeah, Ninja Storm lost theirs though didn't they get them back in the Dino Thunder crossover? I know the Dino Thunder Rangers got theirs back in SPD, though I believe were taken away again along with the memories of their encounters both times.

A good writer could explain everything if they put effort in obviously. Jason having the Tyranno Power coin still for example is maybe due to when he Zack, and Trini transferred their powers to Rocky, Adam, and Aisha, it somehow created duplicate power coins or something.

I'm really curious to see how Tommy gets his Green Ranger powers back.

Explanation of the return of powers!

Power Rangers In Space - Justin the Blue Turbo Ranger

Justin's morpher, while powerless, was stored in Storm Blaster. It is believed that Storm Blaster, a sentient vehicle, used its own power to "power up" the Blue Turbo Ranger powers so that Justin could morph again.

Power Rangers In Space - Adam the Black Mighty Morphin Power Ranger

When the Thunderzords were destroyed by Rito Revulto, the Power Rangers were unable to use their power coins because their powers had been "destroyed". They gain the Ninja powers through Ninjor, and we learn in Adam's return that the original morphers and dino coins were never destroyed entirely, just severely damaged and the powers "destroyed". Adam morphs, looks to suffer some physical pain for doing so, before the power fades away for good.

Power Rangers Wild Force - Forever Red

It is never explained how Jason is able to morph, or how his powers are still around. Theories are rampant - some say the "Power Transfer" simply copied the Power Rangers (as there are two sets in the scene), and others say that he was able to use his morpher because it wasn't destroyed (like Adam's in In Space), and that Jason most likely got it back from Rocky during Jason's tenure on Zeo.

The Zeo powers were never shown destroyed or rendered inert. Because of this, it's easy to assume the Zeo powers were simply retired, and Tommy busted them out.

Much like Justin's powers with Storm Blaster, it's likely that TJ was able to have his Turbo morpher charged by Lightning Cruiser.

Power Rangers Dino Thunder

The Ninja Storm Rangers used the last of their morphing powers to seal away Lothar, but he escaped. But when Cam, Blake, and Hunter freed their sensei from the Abyss of Evil, it is stated on screen that there is enough power left for one last battle. Afterwards, Hailey informs the team that the Ninja Storm powers are no more, where Connor then states "It's our turn now".

Power Rangers SPD

The Dino Rangers are bought from the past in to the future, and the SPD are able to recharge their Dino Gems which allow them to morph.

The second crossover, "Wormhole", has SPD traveling in to the past during the time frame of Dino Thunder, meaning there is no explanation needed for how the Dino Thunder Rangers have their powers.

Power Rangers Operation Overdrive

Sentinel Knight is able to return the powers to the five rangers that he selected - Adam, Tori, Kira, and Xander. It is assumed that Bridge from SPD was merely plucked out of time for the battle and returned soon thereafter.

Hope that helps!
