Horde Encounter

An encounter with a mixed-species horde of Tauros (male) and Miltank (female)

A Horde Encounter (Japanese: 群れバトル Herd Battle) is a type of Pokémon battle introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Horde Encounters consist of the appearance of a group of multiple wild Pokémon. Unlike in Double Battles, Pokémon in a horde are usually of the same species, but may include counterparts or other Pokémon with similar design origins; for example, a Tauros horde can contain a Miltank.
