When an evolution is exclusive to male or female, it allows you to evolve into both even when you shouldn't be able to. How can you fix this?

While assembling my project base build, I discovered a visual bug with this plugin, that likely happens on a minimum build of Pokémon Essentials V21.1. I discovered this visual bug when using just this arrangement of plugins, after assembling a test build to isolate and solve what the issue with this plugin is for version 2.0:

• V21.1 Hotfixes 1.0.7
• Generation 9 Pack 3.2.0
• Arcky's Region Map v2.2.0
• Modern Quest System + UI 1.0.2
• Pokegear Themes 1.0.9
• Weather System 1.3.4
• Unreal Time System 1.1.1
• Overworld Weather Enhancements 2.0
• Deluxe Battle Kit 1.0.5
• Modular UI Scenes 2.0.4
• Improved Mementos - Ribbons & Marks 1.0.2
• Enhanced Pokemon UI 1.0.4
• In-Depth Pokedex Data Page 1.0.5
• Improved Field Skills - Use HM's Without Knowing the Move! 1.0.1
• Enhanced Battle UI [DBK Add-On] 1.0.1
• SOS Battles [DBK Add-On] 1.0.2
• Terastallization [DBK Add-On] 1.0.3
• Z-Power [DBK Add-On] 1.0.1

I have not tested if the problem happens on a stock Gen 9 build of Pokémon Essentials. So, a build that has just this arrangement of plugins, for v21.1 of Pokémon Essentials:

• V21.1 Hotfixes 1.0.7
• Generation 9 Pack 3.2.0

Or if the problem happens on a minimum plugin Gen 9 build of Pokémon Essentials. So, a build that has just this arrangement of plugins, for v21.1 of Pokémon Essentials:

• V21.1 Hotfixes 1.0.7
• Generation 9 Pack 3.2.0
• Arcky's Region Map v2.2.0
• Modern Quest System + UI 1.0.2
• Pokegear Themes 1.0.9
• Weather System 1.3.4
• Unreal Time System 1.1.1
• Overworld Weather Enhancements 2.0

The reason I have not tested out the visual bug on a bare-bones build of Pokémon Essentials V21.1 is simply because I am going to use the Deluxe Battle Kit anyway. I discovered the problem with my current project base build and the test build. In my current project build that consists of 54 plugins, only LAEVO has a noticeable visual bug but is itself able to work alongside the rest of the 54 plugins I have for my working project base. The gameplay mechanic of the P:LA Party Evolver plugin works correctly and it’s fantastic. A good quality-of-life feature for the Pokémon Party UI. It is only the bugs with the visuals that are the issue. I inspected the Ruby code file of the plugin and discovered that the directory for the sprites was looking for:

Graphics/Pictures

I corrected it to:

Graphics/UI/Party (I commented out the lines that were looking in Graphics/Pictures, copied those same lines, and changed the directory to Graphics/UI/Party)
