When any attack is used the error pops up. Then the attack is performed again if the mon isn't fainted. If it is fainted, the error pops up again and again until the game is turned off.

Pretty much exactly what the error says. You're using "target" somewhere around line 721 of Battler_UseMove, but "target" hasn't been defined properly for what you're using it for. If you have any custom code modifications in this section, take a more careful look at it.

I've figured out what code was causing the problem and I've fixed it.

# Make the target flinch (because of SUPER EFFECTIVE MOVE)
targets.each do |b|
if Effectiveness.super_effective?(b.damageState.typeMod)
b.pbFlinch(user)
end
end

Anyone can use this code if they want. It makes flinches happen if a pokemon is hit with a super effective move, like how in Persona 5 hitting foes with a super-effective move will knock them down and make them miss a turn.
