Pokemon TCG Pocket Error 102: Troubleshooting Guide

The popular mobile card game, Pokemon TCG Pocket, occasionally encounters Error 102. This error, often accompanied by a longer code (e.g., 102-170-014), unexpectedly returns players to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload, particularly during the release of new expansion packs. The game's servers simply can't handle the high volume of players attempting to connect simultaneously.

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

  • Restart the app: Force-quitting and restarting the Pokemon TCG Pocket app can often 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 the error persists during a new expansion pack release, server overload is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue typically resolves within a day or two, allowing normal gameplay to resume.
