On record, I know that this is a necropost, but I saw this and it bugs me that the reason I've accepted isn't here. Eevees, fossils and starters are predominantly male to make them more rare, since you get a baby of the female through breeding.

Yeah I've come to agree with this as well. I will remove my answer.
