Hi Eric.

You must always replace your active Pokemon immediately
after it is knocked out. So you certainly are not allowed
to draw a card (it is still your opponent's turn!)

Only after you replace your K-O'd Pokemon does the attack
phase end and the other player's turn begin.

This is why if you have no benched (i know, not exactly
what you were asking about) Pokemon and your active is
knocked-out, you immediately lose the game.
