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

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}}) 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 [[ | 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.

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. | 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.
