Set Details
Rival Ambitions: Aqua vs. Magma!
Two teams of villains emerge from their hideouts to clash over the fate of the world in Pokémon TCG: Double Crisis! Team Aqua brings sheer brawn and willpower while Team Magma leverages logic, and both are willing to move land and sea to accomplish their goals. While Team Aqua’s Kyogre-EX rampages against Team Magma’s Groudon-EX, their rival ambitions could change the Hoenn region forever!
Double Crisis Pokémon Set is a special expansion in the XY Series, first released in Japan on January 30, 2015 as Concept Pack Magma Gang VS Aqua Gang: Double Crisis, and later in English on March 25, 2015. Instead of standard booster boxes, it was sold exclusively in themed blisters—each including four 7‑card booster packs, a Team Magma or Team Aqua pin and matching coin, plus an online code card—making it the very first subset of the XY Era and a must‑have for Hoenn fans.
At the heart of the Double Crisis Pokémon Set is the clash between Team Aqua and Team Magma, bringing back classic Owner cards and spotlighting Water‑ and Ground‑type strategies. Every Pokémon card bears its team’s logo in the attack box and features a grunt’s headshot beside the Pokédex entry, while Trainer cards echo the same branding in their description boxes. Signature cards like Kyogre‑EX for Aqua and Groudon‑EX for Magma deliver powerful effects that mirror the narrative tension of Hoenn’s legendary conflict.
Collectors will love that this subset consists of just 34 cards—no Secret Rares—each sporting a striking reverse‑holo treatment to stand out in any collection. The blister‑only distribution, themed pins and coins, and the need to trade to complete the set all foster community interaction and excitement. With its vivid art, Owner‑centric design flourishes, and uniquely focused release, Double Crisis Pokémon Set remains a standout chapter in the XY Series, blending strategic gameplay with collectible flair.
