Troubleshooting Error 102 in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Pokémon TCG Pocket, the popular mobile card game, occasionally encounters Error 102. This error, often accompanied by a longer code (e.g., 102-170-014), unexpectedly returns you to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload – too many players attempting to access the game simultaneously. This frequently occurs during the release of new expansion packs.

However, if you encounter Error 102 on a non-release day, consider these troubleshooting steps:

• Restart the app: Completely close the Pokémon TCG Pocket app and force a restart on your mobile device. This can often resolve the issue.
• Check your internet connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, try switching to a 5G mobile data connection.

If Error 102 appears on a new expansion pack launch day, server congestion is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves itself within a day or so.
