Well, he was back in his powered form and was giving energy for the final attack in the Hugto crossover episode. He was shown in a solo shot right after secondary Cures that were part of the main teams of each season, but before a group shot with many secondary cast members that had powers but weren't Cures.

So I guess it's still kind of ambiguous, but he did somehow get his powers back at the same time as the minor Cures (although I guess he might just have recovered them off-screen).
