As is true of the physical TCG, the greatest crisis that one can face in TCGP is likely in a battle against someone else, whose deck may or may not stack up to the competitor. Most recently, though, the game has added a new "crisis" - in a figurative sense - with the entry of some otherworldly and cryptid-like beings that are known by a "super" characteristic. Thus interred, there is the new Themed Booster Pack called "Extradimensional Crisis".
The beings in question are of course Ultra Beasts, and they make their entry in this minor expansion. Specifically, they are also marked on the upper-right corner with the label, just in case the uninitiated needs a way to tell them apart from other Pokémon, particularly Legendary and Mythical ones. More practically, however, some Trainer cards in the same expansion tie into these Pokémon, and this helps to relate them in that regard.
Meanwhile, the expansion also contains a number of other Pokémon from the region of concern - Alola, as with the earlier Celestial Guardians expansion - as well as a few supporting Pokémon from other generations, some of which are Shiny. By and large, however, the Ultra Beasts are still front and center for what the expansion has to offer, and they'll be the ones players are seeking the cards of - especially the full art ones.
Being a minor expansion, there aren't many numbered cards to deal with; there are only 69 cards in all, similar to the very first Themed Booster Pack. It's the overnumbered cards that, as with most other expansions (both major and minor), add bulk to the expansion and reiterate the above point that most players will be looking for cards in this section. Still, getting at least some of the other cards is needed for good play.
Even the world of TCGP needs a bit of a shakeup every now and then, and the latest form of that is the entry of extradimensional creatures into the game, wreaking (at least) a little bit of havoc on decks and battle dynamics. That may or may not be considered a crisis in a unique form, but having the Ultra Beasts in a specially designated Themed Booster Pack is unique enough for players to "resolve the crisis".
