Scenario:
I have a full bench.
Single Strike Mustard is the last card in my hand.

Question:
Can I still play Single Strike Mustard to draw 5 cards, if I have no available bench space to place a Single Strike Pokemon?
 
You can play this card only when it is the last card in your hand.
Search your deck for a Single Strike Pokémon and put it onto your Bench. Then, shuffle your deck. If you searched your deck in this way, draw 5 cards.

I'd rule - no you cannot. The Search and placement on the Bench are one action. Since you cannot put a Pokémon onto your Bench, you cannot search. The drawing of cards has a condition a Search was performed, which it cannot be.
