It looks a lot of the sub-types contradict the base form for starting evolutions.
For example, consider the Azata sub-type:
Biped (limbs [arms], limbs [legs]) or serpentine (limbs [arms], tail, tail slap).
Meanwhile, the base forms read:
Biped
Starting Statistics: Size Medium; Speed 30 ft.; AC +2 natural armor; Saves Fort (good), Ref (poor), Will (good); Attack 2 claws (1d4); Ability Scores Str 16, Dex 12, Con 13, Int 7, Wis 10, Cha 11.
Serpentine
Starting Statistics: Size Medium; Speed 20 ft., climb 20 ft.; AC +2 natural armor; Saves Fort (poor), Ref (good), Will (good); Attack bite (1d6), tail slap (1d6); Ability Scores Str 12, Dex 16, Con 13, Int 7, Wis 10, Cha 11.
Does a biped azata gain claws at first levels? The base form says it does but the azata sub-type makes no mention at it.
Unrelated, but it also seems that the author of the Magic Attacks evolution doesn't know how sub-types work:
If the summoner is 10th level or higher, all of the eidolon's natural attacks are treated as the alignment of the eidolon for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Alignment: The eidolon is a creature of this alignment. If its alignment is chaotic, evil, lawful, or good, it gains that subtype.
A creature with the good subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields are good-aligned.
There are corresponding rules for each alignment sub-type. An eidolon automatically counts both its natural attacks and weapon attacks as its alignment.
