As far as I know I am playing a mostly unaltered romhack of firered, with the only alterations being a sprite patch and that I used randomizer to allow evolutions for trade pokemon. Could that have caused it?

I think I found an issue. I am currently doing a FireRed run where I try to get the entire kanto dex, and I have noticed a lot of pokemon seem to be flagged as illegal despite me catching them ingame. The pokemon flagged as illegal are Metapod, Beedrill, Ghastly, Gengar, Koffing, Wheezing, the various eeveelutions, and the starters. I did a bit of checking myself and noticed all the pokemon PKHeX flags as illegal have only one ability for their species, and that the ones flagged as illegal have their ability in the second slot. "Invalid: Ability does not match ability number" is the error I get. As an example, here are my Metapod, Bulbasaur, and Ghastly. Metapod has Shed Skin(2), and Ghastly has Levitate(2). My various Bulbasaurs with Overgrowth(2) give legality errors, but ones with Overgrowth(1) do not. (Bulbasaur has a japanese name because my leafgreen copy is japanese). I am using version 20231011. 0001 - タマゴ - EC6144507B03.pk3 0011 - METAPOD - 8CDDA89E6957.pk3 0092 - GASTLY - 02FE6D0C893D.pk3
