Pokemon Information Error

So I have the really clunky, awful code above in a program I am running (I know there are functions to do this, but I had to do it on my own using certain commands for a class), and I am trying to initialize a "Pokedex" for all 898 Pokemon. However I keep getting height errors for the following Pokemon: deoxys wormadam giratina shaymin basculin darmanitan tornadus thundurus landorus keldeo meloetta meowstic aegislash pumpkaboo gourgeist zygarde oricorio lycanroc wishiwashi minior mimikyu toxtricity eiscue indeedee morpeko urshifu

I don't exactly know what the error is, but I know it doesn't like it and I had to add the try/except here so it would at least initialize what it could. I just no it freaks out whenever it gets to those Pokemon, so I thought I would let you know. Screen Shot 2022-03-16 at 22 11 39

This is a screenshot of the error that I get when it gets to deoxys, again not sure why that's happening because when I use the .height outside of this function for deoxys, it works just fine. Please let me know, thank you.

I'm just glancing at this but the issue could be that all those pokemon in the api have a full name with a dash (-) because they have forms. For example, deoxys is deoxys-normal and the api call for that is this: https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/deoxys-normal Calling it with just deoxys wouldn't return anything: https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/deoxys.

So I'm assuming somewhere that is the issue.

You should cycle through pokemon-species and not pokemon
