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}}).

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}}. | 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.
