The Most Valuable Double Crisis Pokemon TCG Cards

The best sets of the XY era have some of the most vibrant full featured scenes in the Pokemon TCG. While these sets aren't brand new, they aren't vintage either, so cards from the XY era tend to be forgotten. Sets like Double Crisis lack the hype associated with newer releases and misses too the nostalgic association that the earliest sets carry for many collectors.

But in the future, Double Crisis and other sets will be what some kids grew up with, and as those kids become part of the workforce, the demand (and thus likely price) for these cards should increase significantly. If Groudon and Kyogre are your favorite legendary Pokemon, you'll be surprised to see their best cards in Double Crisis.

The cards are ordered according to their TCGPlayer
market price,
on average you can pay for a copy of the cards below.

However,
sale prices vary depending on the condition of the card,
so this market price is only a rough idea of ​​the card's value.

7 Team Aqua's Grimer (Common) – $1.88

Bubble And Brew

While some of the best Team Aqua and Team Magma cards are in the Team Aqua vs Team Magma set, each team has additional additions to their lists in Double Crisis, as Grimer offers an interesting prize situation to unpack.

While Grimer has both a Reverse Holo and a normal common version, Reverse Holo doesn't have a distinct market price yet, leaving the common card as the technical winner for now. However, it is worth pointing out Reverse Holo will cost more if you want to buy one, with a near mint (NM) short commands about five dollars compared to $2.04 and under for the regular.

6 Team Aqua's Sharpedo (Holo Rare) – $2.00

A bit above

Sharpedo shares a similar situation to its Team Aqua peer, Grimer, as both cards have Common and Reverse Holo versions with incomplete price information on TCGplayer. But while technicality may win out in the title, let's take a closer look at what you can expect when you consider buying this card.

At the upper end of the range NM Holo version can cost as much as $2.79, but often sell for less, while NM Reverse Holo boasts a handful of sales ranging from $3.75 up to almost $5.50.

5 Team Aqua's Aggron (Reverse Holo) – $2.32

Fight in

Double Crisis has some wonderful artwork in it, but not many rare cards of value outside of the top slots. However, price is only one part of a card and is not the factor that determines its appeal. If you like Aggron, you won't find many cards that provide such an awesome scene in such a small space, as this card is one of the best cards in Double Crisis.

Aggron has both one
Reverse Holo and a Holo Rare,
which makes its value somewhat more complex to analyze.

As a direct comparison between the Reverse and Holo versions, each card sells for markedly different near-mint prices. (NM) terms. Holo Rare commands anywhere between $1.25 to $3.99, though the reverse Holo easily clears the five dollar mark, clocks in with sales on $4.99 and up.

4 Team Magma's Great Ball (Reverse) – $3.29

Warms up

Team Magma's Secret Base keeps us on track with this fiery red big ball – a unique item not found in the main series of Pokemon games, giving this card an extra layer of collector appeal.

Oddly enough this Reverse Holo is extremely similar to the normal versions' sales, with a cap on $4.47 USD while the normal card can hit five dollars in some cases. With such an incredibly small price difference, timing may likely have played a role in the discrepancy, despite Reverse Holo's slight advantage in market price.

3 Team Magma's Secret Base (Reverse Holo) – $4.87

Build towards something bigger

From their big ball to this secret base, Team Magma has been busy using trainer cards to catch up to Team Aqua's early dominance. While you might not imagine a Stadium card would ever be among the most valuable cards in a set, the Double Crisis chase cards do a lot of the heavy lifting.

While the normal version in NM condition retails between $2.45 and $3.59, it is Reverse Holo completely eclipses that card, stands with sale from $3.98 to over five dollars. Although the visual difference is minimal, the upgrade to a fairly common card is appreciated and reflected in the price.

2 Team Magma's Groudon EX (Ultra Rare) – $118.82

A price breakout

Even some of the most valuable Groudon cards struggle to compete with this incredible art from Double Crisis, as it features several iconic Team Magma-themed Pokémon alongside the powerful Legendary. Groudon is joined by the Team Magma admins as well as their Pokemon, Camerupt and Zangoose.

This card's value is almost entirely dependent on its condition, as you can find copies very cheaply if you're willing to settle for a less than ideal copy. Heavy played (HP) cards start at $36.27, while playing moderately (MP) jump into the $55 range. However, easily played (LP) is an even bigger increase, with sales over $100, followed by NM cards reach incredible highs up to $344.

1 Team Aqua's Kyogre EX (Ultra Rare) – $181.88

A sea of ​​wonder

Kyogre has an equally impressive list of valuable cards as Groudon, but this is easily one of the best Kyogre cards ever, with a scene that mirrors Groudon's. The Team Aqua Admins are joined by their Pokémon, Seviper, Sharpedo, and Walrein as they ride Kyogre's wave into battle.

This card's value continues to soar, starting at $75 for MP copies – almost $20 more than the same Groudon. LP copies offer a similar price of around $100, while NM copy run wild, from $145, with multiple sales over $260.
