Alluring Fireball

Switch in 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot. This attack does 30 damage to the new Active Pokémon.

It lurks in cities, pretending to be a lamp. Once it finds someone whose death is near, it will trail quietly after them.

Rulings (1)

If I use Lampent's "Alluring Fireball" attack or Elektross' "Suction Shock" attack and my opponent has no Benched Pokemon, do I do damage to or get to flip to paralyze the current Active?

No. The attack specifies that the damage and effect are only done to "the new Active Pokemon"
