Does Power Split affect the target after the user switches out?

Hi,

Long time viewer of this site here. If you Power Split (or any of the Split moves) and then switch out the Pokemon, is the opposing Pokemon still affected by the Power Split or are the stats reset?

Ex. You lead with a Shuckle, use Power Split to half you opponent’s attack/Special Attack, and then switch to a much better Pokemon and leave your opponent with lowered stats.

I couldn’t find verification or not online, but just looking to confirm it is false (because it feels this way).

Thanks in advance.

Yes. Power split will affect the target after the user switches out. The effect on the target only disappears when the target switches out. (so the user’s stats will also stay the same if the target switches)

I know this because I battled myself.Turn one shuckle uses power split on hydreigon.Turn two Shuckle switches to gengar and hydreigon’s dark pulse does not OHKO (does around 70%).

I tried the same thing again but without using power split, and dark pulse OHKOes every time.So power split’s effect must have persisted after the user switched out.
