2 official rulings from Bandai, last ruled Jan 24, 2025. Straight answers to how this card actually resolves.
When this card and "BT20-068 BAKEMON" with "BT20-063 GOSMON" as its digivolved source were deleted, the digivolved source effect of this card and the digivolved source effect of "BT20-063 GOSMON" triggered simultaneously. In this case, if I activate this card's inherited effect first and return "BT20-068 BAKEMON" from my trash to my hand, can I activate the digivolved effect of "BT20-063 Gosmon" after that?
No, it cannot be activated. When a Digimon is deleted and the [On Deletion] effect of the Digivolved card is triggered, it is the Digimon card that had the Digivolved card that is waiting to be activated. If a Digimon card that is pending activation leaves the area before it is activated, its effect cannot be activated. In this situation, if "BT20-068 BAKEMON" is deleted and the [On Deletion] effect of its digivolved source is triggered, it is the "BT20-068 BAKEMON" card that is waiting to activate its effect. If the deleted "BT20-068 Bakmon" card leaves the trash, the [When Deletion] effect of the digivolved effect that was pending activation cannot be activated.

Yes, it activates. When a Digimon is deleted and the [On Deletion] effect of its Digivolved source is triggered, it is the Digimon card that had the Digivolved source that is waiting to be activated. If you return the BT20-063 Gosmon card to your hand, you can still activate the digivolution card BT20-063 Gosmon's digivolution effect.
