I have a question on this. The attack reads:

At the end of your opponent's next turn, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.

If the opponent switch his pokémon with one on the bench, does that mean that the attack doesn't work? Or doesn't it matter?

Thanks!
 
You are correct - if the defending is benched/switched before the end of the turn, then the effect (becoming poisoned) doesn't happen.
 
Also Posion-at-the-end-of-your-turn effect is removed if the Pokémon Evolves, Devolves, or otherwise leaves play. Healing cards played during your tuen will not work as the Pokémon is not Posioned during your turn.
