Here are the rules for the horde battle format, as stated in the rules.
Horde battle rules: Horde battles plain never occur in normal game play. It's a Global Train Station special, and if you're ready to take on this challenging battle style, here's how. Horde battle is pretty much the off the wall, rule-bender battle type. There are a lot of things that apply to it from singles and other formats, but first let's just go over the what exactly it is. A horde battle is a battle where one trainer sends out five Pokemon at once, and then the second trainer comes out with one, stronger Pokemon. The object of the game is to knockout the single Pokemon whilst losing the least amount of your own Pokemon as possible. So, this will continue as a regular one on five battle until one side is completely KO'd. Remember, each Pokemon in the group of five gets a turn. If the single Pokemon is, as predictable, KO'd first, then the battle will continue into another section. In the second section, trainers switch positions. The trainer that previously had five Pokemon out sends out their last one, while the second trainer sends out their previously unused, five other Pokemon. After section two takes place, each trainer is awarded a score for every Pokemon they kept from being KO'd, including the Pokemon that fought against the five other Pokemon. In the event that both trainers' single Pokemon survived, a sudden death match occurs, where both single Pokemon have a single battle against each other. Both Pokemon involved in this battle must use the amount of HP remaining from their original battle. Winner of the sudden death match takes all.
Special rules for horde battles: Absolutely no switching allowed, except at the end of a section. A trainer may not use the same Pokemon in two different sections of the battle. The Pokemon that is used as the single Pokemon gets a standard 400 HP, and all Pokemon used in the horde group have a standard HP of 150, regardless of team levels. When in the horde group, Pokemon may not move places with one another. The single Pokemon may attack any horde group Pokemon, and any horde group Pokemon may attack the single Pokemon. Other than the ones stated here, normal triple battle rules should apply.
