[F][C] Sonic Blade
Put damage counters on the Defending Pokemon until it is 50 HP away from being Knocked Out. If you do, your opponent switches the Defending Pokemon with one of his or her Benched Pokemon.

The text that confuses me is "If you do,...". Would this mean that using Sonic Blade on a Budew, which doesn't have more than 50 HP, causes the entire attack to fizzle?
 
You must be able to do the first part. If you don't put any damage counters on the Defending Pokemon, you don't switch. (Thus the "if you do" clause.)
