Pokemon-Amie and Super Training were minigames in Pokemon X and Y that allowed players to bond with their Pokemon. Horde Encounters were not available everywhere but where they were they had a one in twenty chance of being initiated.

While it was possible for there to be two species of Pokemon it was always four of one species and one of another in the horde. Pokemon in Horde Encounters were often under-level compared to other Pokemon in the area and hordes would consist primarily of one Pokemon species. Horde Encounters were encounters with wild Pokemon that would have players battle against five wild Pokemon at once. Pokemon that could participate but didn’t know any appropriate moves would default to using Struggle in Sky Battles. They also prevented certain moves from being used. Sky Battles were accessible only to certain Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon that had the ability Levitate. Sky Battles and Horde Encounters on the other hand were unique Pokemon battles that had their limitations and requirements.

The following 28 Pokemon received Mega Evolutions in Pokemon X and Y: If players had obtained the Key Stone and the Pokemon they were using was capable of Mega Evolution and held their respective Mega Stone that Pokemon could Mega Evolve. These evolutions were used in the heat of battle for certain Pokemon in the game. Pokemon X and Y also introduced Mega Evolutions. This was major as it suddenly made almost two dozen Pokemon viable for different battle situations as they had STAB on Fairy-type moves and were immune to Dragon-Type moves. This was done when 22 Normal-type Pokemon had their type changed to Fairy. Gen 6 also featured the first Fairy-type Gym Leader and made major changes to Normal-type Pokemon.
