Pokémon TCG Pocket mobile game, based on the popular physical card game, occasionally encounters Error 102. This guide explains how to troubleshoot this common issue.
Troubleshooting Pokémon TCG Pocket Error 102
Error 102 in Pokémon TCG Pocket often appears with additional numbers (e.g., 102-170-014), abruptly returning you to the home screen. This typically indicates server overload; too many players are trying to access the game simultaneously. This is common during the release of major expansion packs.
However, if the error occurs outside of a new pack release:
- Restart the app: Completely close and restart the Pokémon TCG Pocket application on your mobile device. A hard restart might resolve the problem.
- Check your internet connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, try switching to a 5G mobile data 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 within the first day.
