Double Crisis is a compact special expansion devoted entirely to the conflict between Team Magma and Team Aqua. Its cards depict the two factions, their owned Pokémon, and the opposing plans to expand the land or sea. Groudon and Kyogre provide the legendary centre, while Camerupt, Sharpedo, Aggron, and Walrein represent the teams’ most recognizable partners. Red and blue borders make each allegiance immediately clear. It was largely adapted from Japan’s Magma Gang VS Aqua Gang: Double Crisis, with modest changes to card selection and rarity distribution.

Team Magma’s Groudon-EX and Team Aqua’s Kyogre-EX are the headline cards, supported by Trainers and Pokémon designed to work within their respective factions. The small checklist and themed products make the set relatively approachable to complete, while the two full-art-style legendary cards provide a clear premium goal. Double Crisis deliberately echoes EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua, but updates the rivalry with modern artwork and XY-era mechanics. Its strength lies in focus: there are few unrelated cards, and almost every illustration contributes to the story of two organizations pushing Hoenn toward environmental disaster. For collectors who enjoy villain teams and tightly connected sets, it offers a concise narrative collection.
