just to clarify, can "switch-in" be used both to refer to "the Pokemon that switches in" and "the turn/ act of switching in"?

some examples of the former (from random onsite analyses):
  • set up Calm Mind as they switch out, and hit the switch-in hard
  • Toxic is great for getting residual damage on common switch-ins such as Blastoise
the latter:
  • Toxic can also be used to cripple several threats on the switch-in

or should the latter be phrased as "on the switch" or "on the switch in":
  • Focus Punch can be used in the last slot to smash Clefable on the switch
  • it still faces the risk of being 2HKOed by powerful hits on the switch in
