How to Fix Error 102 in Pokemon TCG Pocket

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), abruptly returns you to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload, frequently occurring during the release of new expansion packs. The game's servers simply can't handle the surge in players.

However, if you encounter Error 102 on a non-release day, here are some troubleshooting steps:

• Restart the App: Completely close and restart the Pokémon TCG Pocket application on your mobile device. A forced restart might resolve the issue.
• Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, switch to a more stable connection, such as 5G.

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