What conditions would heal when you retreat or switch or rush in(keldeo EX)? Also, when you're poison or burned can you retreat? if yes, would you lose the condition? Can a pokemon have a status condition on the bench, im asking this because I have this Darkrai card (http://pokebeach.com/scans/majestic-dawn/3-darkrai.jpg) and I don't really understand how it works.

The answer to questons 2 and 3 is yes.

As for Keldeo EX (or moving a Pokemon with a status condition to the bench in general), all conditions get removed.

With Darkrai, its Poke-Power is pretty much saying that when you put on to the bench, you can make one of your opponent's active Pokemon go to Sleep.

EDIT: Made a mistake with my Darkrai ruling, fixed it.
