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.

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 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. | 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. | ||
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 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. | ||
