Yes. We already asked this 2 months ago in Gumi's live chat if evolving mock units are also vulnerable to type changing during evolving and they said no since mock units aren't summoned in gates nor captured in vortexes/maps, they are awarded, and awarded units have no such feature.

Heck, last month, during JPBF's 2nd anniversary, Alim had an event where you can request any unit like w/whatever type you want. He tried asking for an Anima Ark and was denied.
