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 new expansion packs.

However, if you encounter this error outside of a new pack launch, consider these troubleshooting steps:

Restart the App: Completely close and restart the Pokémon TCG Pocket application on your mobile device. A hard 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 like 5G.

If the error persists on a non-release day, further investigation into network connectivity issues may be necessary.

During expansion pack launches, server overload is highly probable. In such cases, patience is key. The error should resolve itself within the first day or so as server capacity adjusts to the increased player traffic.
