[Error] Section 0 error in pokemon.txt

    I've got this error in the pokemon.txt PBS file:

    Spoiler:


    I have no idea where to look or what to look for. Doesn't section 0 mean that there's a problem with the Pokemon with index 0? There is no Pokemon like that in my PBS file. It also may be important to note that I've gotten errors with sections above 0 before this with only changing minor typos between, so I'm not sure why it would compile section 0 after section 865 anyway. Also, it seems like there's a blank field instead of a positive integer, but I don't see why this would cause a problem. Can anyone help with where to look or what to look for?
     
    I tried the PBS files in a different game file, and it worked fine, so I wonder if something was changed in the scripts?

    EDIT: I figured out the problem. I had the evolution type for some gen 8 Pokemon defined in PBEvolutions, but I didn't do anything else with them. Not sure why that would cause this error though
