Regarding Ability 1 or 2

I've noticed that every time I inject a past gen pokemon with Ability 2, PkHeX changes their ability to the first slot.

If I check the file on legality checker or Pokegen it will show that the right ability is the 2nd one, I am not sure if abilities don't matter anymore or why it changes it to the 1st one.

I don't seem to have that problem with Gen 6 pokemon though, would appreciate some info about this

When transferring the 'ability number' is set (no longer derived from the PID), in doing so it checks the valid abilities to find the ability number.

If ability 1 & 2 are the same, the 'find' will return the first instance (ability 1).

Oh, so that's why, thanks for clearing it out, appreciate it!
