The number of 'defending' or 'active' pokemon

Dear Friends,

Just a quick question; I came across a trainer card recently ("Pokemon Reversal") that says "Flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of your opponent's benched pokemon and switch it with one of the defending pokemon. Your opponent chooses the defending pokemon to switch."

Isn't there only 1 defending pokemon in play at a time? Isn't the defending pokemon the same thing as your opponent's active pokemon? This seems to suggest that there can be more than one defending pokemon in play at a time; is this true? Was it once true? What am I misunderstanding?

Thanks!
