No, you do not have to flip a coin to use Hitmonchan. Sandshrew's Sand-attack effect resides with the Defender. If that Defender (which was Machop) is knocked-out, then the effect goes away with it. This will be also true if your Machop was not knocked out, but merely benched or evolved. Sand-attack's effect will go away. Brian Brokaw
