Hippopotas Sand Attack Clarification

I have a question about the Sand Attack used by Hippopotas.
The text states "If the defending Pokemon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing."

If the defending Pokemon is evolved or switched with a benched Pokemon, does the opponent still need to flip a coin or is it only the actual Pokemon that was attacked by Hippopotas?
 
The effect is on the Pokemon that was attacked by Hippo.
If that Pokemon evolves or retreats, the effect goes away.
