A '''Horde Encounter''' (Japanese: '''群れバトル''' ''Herd Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] in the [[Generation VI]] games, which involves one of the player's Pokémon facing five opponents at once.
 
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Horde Encounters are restricted to wild Pokémon, but in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, special scripted events allow five Trainers to engage the player in a Horde Battle.
 
==Mechanics==
In wild Horde Encounters, all Pokémon are usually of the same species, but in some cases, one of them may instead be a counterpart or a similar Pokémon to the majority. The Pokémon in hordes are at approximately half the [[level]] of other Pokémon in the area and may be a lower [[evolution]]ary stage of a Pokémon that normally inhabits the area (such as a horde of {{p|Geodude}} occurring in areas dominated by {{p|Graveler}}). Pokémon encountered in hordes may also have their [[Hidden Ability]]. Some Pokémon can only be found in hordes.
 
Not all locations have wild hordes, but where they exist, hordes may be randomly encountered at approximately a 5% rate in [[tall grass]] or flowers (but not in {{DL|tall grass|long grass}} in Pokémon X and Y) or in caves. Horde Encounters can also be purposefully initiated by using [[Honey]] or {{m|Sweet Scent}}; however, in Pokémon X and Y, Honey and Sweet Scent will not cause a wild encounter if the overworld [[weather]] is not clear. As in all wild battles, a Trainer cannot throw a [[Poké Ball]] unless there is only one wild Pokémon remaining. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, while Horde Encounters can be forced at any time with [[Honey]] or {{m|Sweet Scent}}, they only otherwise appear in {{DL|Tall grass|long grass}}.
 
The player's moves in a Horde Encounter act as if the player was in the center of a [[Triple Battle]], except with all five other locations being treated as opponents instead of three opponents and two allies. Moves that target multiple Pokémon simultaneously (like {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Surf}}) are able to strike all five Pokémon at once.
 
==Mixed hordes==

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.
In all cases of mixed hordes, four of one Pokémon species will appear, joined by one of another species.


Pokémon in hordes are at approximately half the [[level]] of other Pokémon in the same area 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 may also have their [[Hidden Ability]].
===Pokémon X and Y===
* A {{p|Plusle}} horde on {{rt|5|Kalos}} will always include one {{p|Minun}} in Pokémon X, and vice versa in Pokémon Y.
* A {{p|Zangoose}} horde on {{rt|8|Kalos}} will always include one {{p|Seviper}} in Pokémon X, and vice versa in Pokémon Y.
* A {{p|Nidoran♂}} horde on {{rt|11|Kalos}} will always include one {{p|Nidoran♀}}.
* A {{p|Roggenrola}} horde in [[Reflection Cave]] may include one {{p|Carbink}}.
* A {{p|Tauros}} horde on {{rt|12|Kalos}} will always include one {{p|Miltank}}.
* A {{p|Durant}} horde on {{rt|18|Kalos}} may include one {{p|Heatmor}}.
* A {{p|Trevenant}} horde on {{rt|20|Kalos}} may include one {{p|Sudowoodo}}.


Hordes are encountered randomly by running through the tall grass, or they can be forcefully initiated using [[Honey]] or {{m|Sweet Scent}}. However, neither will work when it is raining in the overworld. As in wild Double Battles, a Trainer cannot throw a {{ball|Poké}} when multiple foes remain.
===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
* A {{p|Makuhita}} horde in [[Granite Cave]] may include one {{p|Geodude}}.
* A {{p|Minun}} horde on {{rt|110|Hoenn}} may include one {{p|Plusle}} in Pokémon Omega Ruby, and vice versa in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
* An {{p|Oddish}} horde on {{rt|117|Hoenn}} will always include one {{p|Zigzagoon}}.
* A {{p|Lotad}}{{sup/6|AS}} horde on {{rt|114|Hoenn}} will always include one {{p|Swablu}}.


The player's moves in a Horde Encounter act as if the player was in the center of a [[Triple Battle]], except with all five other locations being treated as opponents instead of allies. A move like {{m|Tackle}} would only be able to hit one opponent, while a move like {{m|Rock Slide}} would be able to hit all five.
===Mixed hordes with enemy species===
If a mixed horde consists of {{p|Zangoose}} and {{p|Seviper}} or {{p|Heatmor}} and {{p|Durant}}, the different species will direct attacks at each other (likely due to the species being natural enemies) instead of at the player's Pokémon if possible. The exception to this is moves such as {{m|Leer}} that cannot target allies. Once all the Pokémon of one species have fainted, the horde will begin attacking the player's Pokémon.


===Mixed hordes===
In contrast to Triple Battles, Pokémon attacking each other in a horde have no range limit; a Pokémon in a far-left position can attack a Pokémon in a far-right position.
In all cases of mixed hordes, four of one Pokémon species will appear, joined by one of another species.

A Horde Encounter (Japanese: 群れバトル Herd Battle) is a type of Pokémon battle in the Generation VI games, which involves one of the player's Pokémon facing five opponents at once.

A horde of wild Axew
A horde of Trainers' Poochyena

In Pokémon X and Y, Horde Encounters are restricted to wild Pokémon, but in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, special scripted events allow five Trainers to engage the player in a Horde Battle.

Mechanics

In wild Horde Encounters, all Pokémon are usually of the same species, but in some cases, one of them may instead be a counterpart or a similar Pokémon to the majority. The Pokémon in hordes are at approximately half the level of other Pokémon in the area and may be a lower evolutionary stage of a Pokémon that normally inhabits the area (such as a horde of Geodude occurring in areas dominated by Graveler). Pokémon encountered in hordes may also have their Hidden Ability. Some Pokémon can only be found in hordes.

Not all locations have wild hordes, but where they exist, hordes may be randomly encountered at approximately a 5% rate in tall grass or flowers (but not in long grass in Pokémon X and Y) or in caves. Horde Encounters can also be purposefully initiated by using Honey or Sweet Scent; however, in Pokémon X and Y, Honey and Sweet Scent will not cause a wild encounter if the overworld weather is not clear. As in all wild battles, a Trainer cannot throw a Poké Ball unless there is only one wild Pokémon remaining. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, while Horde Encounters can be forced at any time with Honey or Sweet Scent, they only otherwise appear in long grass.

The player's moves in a Horde Encounter act as if the player was in the center of a Triple Battle, except with all five other locations being treated as opponents instead of three opponents and two allies. Moves that target multiple Pokémon simultaneously (like Rock Slide and Surf) are able to strike all five Pokémon at once.

Mixed hordes

 
A mixed-species horde of Tauros and Miltank

In all cases of mixed hordes, four of one Pokémon species will appear, joined by one of another species.

Pokémon X and Y

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Mixed hordes with enemy species

If a mixed horde consists of Zangoose and Seviper or Heatmor and Durant, the different species will direct attacks at each other (likely due to the species being natural enemies) instead of at the player's Pokémon if possible. The exception to this is moves such as Leer that cannot target allies. Once all the Pokémon of one species have fainted, the horde will begin attacking the player's Pokémon.

In contrast to Triple Battles, Pokémon attacking each other in a horde have no range limit; a Pokémon in a far-left position can attack a Pokémon in a far-right position.

Trivia

  • In Pokémon X and Y, if the player selects a move that targets an adjacent ally, the user's spot is not highlighted, while the spots of the two opponents in the places where the Pokémon allies would be in a Triple Battle are highlighted as if either of them could be targeted (even if those Pokémon have fainted), despite the user being forced to target itself.
  • In Pokémon X and Y, if the player selects Acupressure or a move that targets the user and all allies, the user's spot and the spots of the two opponents in the places where the Pokémon allies would be in a Triple Battle are highlighted (but not joined) as if any of them could be targeted (even if those Pokémon have fainted), despite the user being forced to target itself.
