Pokemon Horde Terminologies

So, in the games, they introduced Pokemon in "hordes." When they appear, they use the term "horde" for any type of pokemon encountered.

But thinking about it, using this term for any type of pokemon feels rather dull in English... Thus I spiffed things up a little bit. The pokedex lists terminologies, like a tribe of Pyroar. But how about we have a Herd of Tauros, an Army of Durant, and a Parliment of Noctowl? Maybe for the unorhadox pokemon, we could have different terms. Perhaps a Field of Cottonee, a Bouquet of Roselia, a Landfill of Trubbish, even an Isotope of Electrode. xD

Not like I'd urge this in the real games, but it's really fun to think about. Do list some of your own made up Pokemon horde terminologies here, if you like!

A swarm of Combee, a school of Magikarp, an apocalypse of Absol, and an inferno of Houndour.
