A '''Horde Encounter''' (Japanese: '''群れバトル''' ''Herd Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}}. Horde Encounters consist of the appearance of a group of five [[wild Pokémon]]. Unlike in [[Double Battles]], Pokémon in a horde are usually of the same species, but may include counterparts or other Pokémon with similar design origins. | A '''Horde Encounter''' (Japanese: '''群れバトル''' ''Herd Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}}.

Pokémon in hordes posess approximately half the [[level]] of other Pokémon in the same area (to compensate for the higher number of attacks per turn) and in some routes may be a lower [[evolution]]ary stage of Pokémon that normally inhabit the area (such as a horde of {{p|Geodude}} occuring in areas dominated by {{p|Graveler}}); Pokémon encountered in hordes can also posess their species's [[Hidden Ability]]. | |||
