Got to the point where I could evolve my starters in Gates. Custom starters' abilities get fixed after evolving, but they'll always use their first ability, in my case Krokorok (Sandile) got Intimidate and Marill got Thick Fat. If you want to keep them unevolved but still fix the ability, then you can use the AR code again after evolving to revert them back to their old form.
