Hordes are encountered randomly by running through the [[tall grass]], or they can be forcefully initiated using [[Honey]] or {{m|Sweet Scent}}; however, Honey and Sweet Scent cannot be used unless the weather is clear in the overworld. As in all wild battles, a Trainer cannot throw a [[Poké Ball]] unless there is only one wild Pokémon remaining.

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. Unlike in Triple Battles, there is no range limit; a Pokémon in a far-left position can attack the Pokémon in a far-right position.

If a mixed horde includes {{p|Zangoose}} and {{p|Seviper}} or {{p|Heatmor}} and {{p|Durant}}, the wild Pokémon will ignore the player's Pokémon; instead, each Pokémon will attack the Pokémon of the other species with the exception of status moves. Once all the Pokémon of one species have fainted, the rest of the horde will begin attacking the player's Pokémon.
