Help us fix the code, please.

From what I see you are trying to access a dictionary key that does not exist.

Right here:

print(f'You attack the {bright}{colored(enemy_pokemon, rarity, attrs=["blink"])}{normal} with {bright}{stats[your_pokemon]["abilities"]}{normal} for {red}{bright}{stats[your_pokemon]["damage"]}{normal}{white} damage!') ; enemy_stats["health"]-= stats[your_pokemon]["damage"]

It seems that if the player doens’t make a valid choice the key here will be invalid (the key being your_pokemon) which will generate the error.

I suggest a nested loop, so the player can’t move on until they’ve selected a valid Pokémon.

You can read more about nested loops here:

By adapating from your code it would be something like this:

while True:  # put a loop to make sure we get a valid pokemon
  print(f'{bright}{white}Please select your Pokémon:')
  for i, slot in enumerate(pokemon_slot):
    print(f'[{i+1}] {slot}')
  choice = input()
  if not choice.isdigit():
    continue
  index = int(choice) - 1
  if index < 0 or index >= len(pokemon_slot):
    continue
  your_pokemon = pokemon_slot[index]
  if your_pokemon == '':  # check if it's a empty slot
    print('That slot is empty, choose a different one.')
    continue
  original_hp_you = stats[your_pokemon]['health']
  clear()
  break  # if we get to here, a valid pokemon was chosen, so we break the loop
