How to Fix Error 102 in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Encountering Error 102 in Pokémon TCG Pocket? This guide offers solutions for this common connectivity issue in the popular mobile card game.

Troubleshooting Error 102 in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Error 102 in Pokémon TCG Pocket manifests in various forms, often accompanied by a numerical code (e.g., 102-170-014), abruptly returning you to the home screen. This typically indicates server overload; the game's servers are unable to handle the current player volume. This is especially common during the release of major expansion packs.

However, if you're encountering this error outside of a new expansion launch, consider these troubleshooting steps:

• Restart the App: Force-quitting and restarting the Pokémon TCG Pocket application on your mobile device can often resolve the issue.
• Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, switch to a more stable 5G connection.

If the error occurs during an expansion pack release, server overload is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves within the first day or so, allowing normal gameplay to resume.
