Most of these have either debuted in a movie or the Mega Evo Specials.

I doubt we're going to see much of Mega Evolutions in the current series outside of Mega Lucario from Korrina Cameo episode. Dynamax and Gigantamax are the gimmicks now, but they might going to compare them against Mega Evolutions and Z-moves or have a cameo character who is known to Mega Evolve like Korrina in the future episodes.

Any few Mega Evolution that have yet to debut can be used by future PWC opponents from Kalos I guess.

it's been established that like the games, in the anime Dyna/gigantamaxing can't be done outside of Galar, but Mega Evolution and Z-moves can be used anywhere in the world.

I seriously doubt all of Ash's major fights are going to happen in Galar alone, so why not use the other gimmicks to make fights outside Galar more intense?

I'm not quite sure why they didn't debut Mega Mewtwo X during Mewtwo's recent return episode given that it would've been the perfect chance to do so even if it had to happen through contrived means. I realize that Mega Evolution isn't exactly a big selling point these days, but for completion's sake, I would've wanted to see Mega Mewtwo X.

His base form was enough to overwhelm both Cinderace and Lucario. Mega evolving against those two would have been completely unnecessary.

If he was going to overwhelm them no matter what, then I don't see how him Mega Evolving would've changed anything in terms of the battle's result. At least it would've been an interesting aesthetic change as well as a chance to mark Mega Mewtwo X off the list of unused Mega Evolutions.

The fact that Mega Evolution wouldn't have added anything is the point. If Mewtwo was strong enough to wipe the floor with them as he was then he really didn't need to Mega Evolve at all.

If he is going to Mega Evolve it should be in a situation that warrants it. Which could happen if they bring that Mewtwo back in the future
