[Scripting Question] Trying to edit Move Effects

[PowerKong]

So I'm trying to make a move that lowers the enemy's accuracy by 1 stage, but also lowers your defense by one stage. I thought I made it good enough, but when I try to run it, it gives my a syntax error. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it! I have the new move at the very bottom and thats where it says the error is coming from. I attached a copy of my scripts file.

I think you're missing an "end". Should be fixed here:

# Lowers your defense and opponents accuracy.  (Sweet Bomb)

class PokeBattle_Move_159 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
    if !attacker.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::ATTACK,attacker,false,self) &&
       !attacker.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::SPATK,attacker,false,self) &&
       !attacker.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::SPEED,attacker,false,self)
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s stats won't go any higher!",attacker.pbThis))
      return -1
    end
    pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
    showanim=true
    if attacker.pbCanReduceStatStage?(PBStats::DEFENSE,attacker,false,self)
      attacker.pbReduceStat(PBStats::DEFENSE,1,attacker,false,self,showanim)
      showanim=false
    end
    if attacker.pbCanReduceStatStage?(PBStats::SPDEF,attacker,false,self)
      attacker.pbReduceStat(PBStats::SPDEF,1,attacker,false,self,showanim)
      showanim=false
    end
  end

  def pbAdditionalEffect(attacker,opponent)
    return if opponent.damagestate.substitute
    if opponent.pbCanReduceStatStage?(PBStats::ACCURACY,attacker,false,self)
      opponent.pbReduceStat(PBStats::ACCURACY,1,attacker,false,self)
    end
    return !attacker.pokemon || !attacker.pokemon.sweetbomb
  end
end

Now it says that pbUseMove is undefined

I'll link the script for pokebattle clauses
