Double Crisis Set Guide
A 34-card special set split between Team Aqua and Team Magma. Its two Pokémon-EX, Team Aqua's Kyogre-EX and Team Magma's Groudon-EX, are printed only as full arts and hold almost all of its value.
Overview
Double Crisis came out between Primal Clash and Roaring Skies as a special set rather than a main expansion. All 34 cards are within the printed total, and nearly every one belongs to Team Aqua or Team Magma: their Pokémon, their Supporters, a Great Ball and a Secret Base Stadium for each side, and a Double Energy for each.
Its two Pokémon-EX share an Ability, Power Saver, that stops them attacking unless you have 5 or more Pokémon of their team in play. Together they make up most of what the set costs.
Cards and rarities
Double Crisis has 34 cards. Every card shows its number over the printed total along the bottom, as in "1/34", next to the set code DCR.
Every card is numbered within the printed total of 34, so Double Crisis has no secret rares. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts a set against its printed total and keeps the secret rares apart, so finishing the main set and chasing the cards above it read as two separate goals.

These are each card's headline TCGplayer market price on October 22, 2026. Prices can move a long way, most of all in a set's first months, so treat them as a snapshot. Each card's page shows today's price for every variant and its 90-day chart. How Pokémon card prices work →
What a complete set costs
One copy of every card in Double Crisis, bought as singles, cost $1,197.14 on October 22, 2026. That is the 8th most expensive of the fifteen sets in the XY series.
The three most valuable cards, Team Aqua's Kyogre-EX, Team Magma's Groudon-EX and Team Magma's Great Ball, come to $1,137.13, or 95% of the total. Without them the set costs $60.01. Of the 34 cards, 18 were under $2.00, together $19.12; the other 16 add up to $1,178.02.
Each card is counted at its cheapest priced variant, a Normal copy rather than a Reverse Holofoil where both exist, at its TCGplayer market price. This is what it costs to buy the set as singles. It is not what opening packs returns, and not what a complete set would sell for, which after fees and the many cards worth cents would be noticeably less.
Playing it
No Double Crisis card carries a regulation mark, so none is Standard-legal as printed. Standard has allowed only the H, I and J marks since April 10, 2026. Every card in Double Crisis is legal in Expanded, which takes every set from Black & White on.
A reprint with a legal mark makes older printings of the same card legal again, so check a card's name before you rule it out.
