Carnivine (SHL 6) attack, Flick poison reads

Switch 1 of your opponens Bench Pokemon with their Active. The new active Pokemon is now poisoned.

If the opponent has no Pokemon on the bench, is the Active Pokemon still poisoned? I'd think so, because the attack text doesn't say "If you do..." after the Switch statement, but the phrase "new Active Pokemon" is throwing me off.
