I have a question, by the description of the attack Magical Charm, Sylveon gets -100 dmg from attacks of the opponents pokemon?

What happens when the opponents pokemon is knoctked-out and a new pokemon comes into play? Shouldnt Sylveon effect by applyed as well to the new opponent? because by knocking out an opponent the new brought out pokemon becomes the "defending pokemon" at the end of the turn!

    No, the Defending Pokémon refers to the Pokémon that took the hit. The new Pokémon becomes the new "Active Pokémon," not "Defending Pokémon" until it gets hit by an attack in the Active Spot.
