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 players to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload, frequently occurring during the release of major 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, consider these troubleshooting steps:

• Restart the app: Completely close the Pokémon TCG Pocket app and forcefully restart it. This can sometimes resolve the issue.
• Check your internet connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, try switching to a more stable 5G connection.

If Error 102 appears on a new expansion pack release day, server overload is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves itself within the first day.
