I cant make a trainer

Hi guys! I tried to make a trainer with the editor, and when i made him it shows this error when i start the game. Why?

"Expected a species name" sounds like it's looking for the Trainer's Pokémon but can't find it.. Can you copy the code for the Trainer you made? If you made it through the Editor, it should be at the bottom of trainers.txt.

Take a look in your game folder. In the ordner "PBS" you'll find a file named "trainers.txt"

Open that file and check the code, like Rainbow said, the game expects a species (or the number of Pokemon the trainer has).
This is an example of a trainer:

#-------------------
BIKER
Trevor
2,POTION
HITMONTOP,33,ORANBERRY,TRIPLEKICK,RAPIDSPIN,COUNTER,FEINT
HERACROSS,33,,BRICKBREAK,COUNTER
#-------------------

1. separator line (separates trainers)
2.TRAINERTYPE (has to be written in capitals)
3.Trainer's name (whatever you like)
4.Number of Pokemon the trainer has (If you miss that line or it doesn't fit to the number of Pokemon you create in the next lines, then an error message like yours occurs, same for misspellings.
5.After the number of Pokemon you can define items (only the common/usual items work so far)
6.Now the Pokemon the trainer should have (SPECIES(capitals),Level,ITEM Hold,ATTACK1-4)
Note: You don't have to give the Pokemon an item, leave the field blank and the Pokemon has no item (like Heracross in the example, but make sure you set the comma correctly), furthermore you don't have to give the Pokemon four attacks (I'm not sure, if you can give it more than four, but I don't think so)
7.Another separator line before the next trainer

Thanks!! For some reason, when I edited some trainers, the last one of the file bugged and lost some lines. Thanks another time
