As many of us here know, when 4Kids Entertainment dissolved in 2012, the company's assets was spread to many different entities to carry on the presentation and distribution of the various projects that 4Kids was involved in over the years.
But as new ownerships were in effect and other companies put out new releases of these respective shows, the presentation of some of them were tampered with.
Occasionally, the presentation as a whole would be changed such as order of sequencing or timing, but more often than not, these companies would just take it upon themselves to omit eyecatches that were made by 4Kids between commercial break spots.
Without further ado though, I will list what is available (at least from me), what is missing and what I'm unsure whether or not eyecatches exist for that series. Though I believe they do in most cases.
Available Eyecatches:
Pokémon (Indigo League-Advanced Battle - Courtesy of The Pokémon Company)
Pokémon Chronicles (From YTV broadcasts - Courtesy of MIKER PHONE on YouTube - I only bother giving this a seperate entry since The Pokémon Company for whatever reason refuses to give this 12-episode series a new release. I believe there are PAL releases out of Britain and Australia, but I'm unsure if the eyecatches are on those.)
Yu-Gi-Oh! (S01-S02 - Courtesy of FUNimation - YTV did air eyecatches for the subsequent seasons but they just used the same eyecatch audio with the graphic from that season's opening, so 4Kids got lazy in that case, but fortunately I believe these can be practically remade)

One Piece (From YTV broadcasts - Courtesy of MIKER PHONE on YouTube)
Shaman King (Courtesy of Discotek)

Mew Mew Power (Courtesy of GTV South Africa)
Kirby: Right Back at Ya! (Courtesy of FUNimation)
Dinosaur King (Courtesy of Discotek)
Unavailable Eyecatches:
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Uncertain Eyecatches:
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
Chaotic
Winx Club
Cubix: Robots for Everyone
Huntik: Secrets & Seekers
G.I. Joe: Sigma 6
There are other shows, but the ones I haven't mentioned either were not made or owned by 4Kids in the first place, simply broadcasted on their block(s), or are lost media as a whole so calling out just the eyecatches would be moot.
In the case of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, my knowledge is purely anecdotal, however based on my own memory (because YTV did show them) + what we've seen from their other productions, I'm willing to believe that they do exist and I'm not some sort of hopium junkie tripping hard from some serious Mandela Effect.
If there is anything you know that I did not mention or do not know of, feel free to reply with what you know or maybe even have!
A few (more obscure) examples:
One Piece:
Fighting Foodons:
Shaman King:
Pokémon Chronicles:
