In Pokémon X and Y, this was 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. | |||
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 [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]]. Some Pokémon can only be found in hordes. | 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.
