    I do have the shape added for Litten in my PBS files under Color= set to Shape=0, so I'm not sure why i'm still getting the original error message. Any info on what I should do? Thanks.

    Wolf is right, if you're using v17 and don't have shape in the Pokémon pbs it won't work

    • Speak english please. Also the error pretty much tells you the problem: The Shape entries are missing in your pokemon.txt. That's often the case when you use an outdated pokemon.txt file. Add the Shape entries manually or use a compatible pbs file.
