Horde Battles

A new type of battle are horde battles. These types of battles can be found in the wild. In horde battles, you will face five different Pokemon. Some hordes will contain five of the same Pokemon, while others will not. Some hordes will work together to defeat you (Miltank & Tauros), while others with fight against each other (Zangoose & Seviper). All horde Pokemon will be a lower levels, allowing the player to not be overpowered.

Horde Battles work a lot like Triple Battles. The best way to defeat all Pokemon in a horde is by using attacks, such as surf, that will hit multiple opponents. If you are trying to catch a specific Pokemon in the horde, it is best to defeat all the others before trying to do so.
