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), unexpectedly returns you to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload; too many players are trying to access the game simultaneously. This is particularly likely during the release of new expansion packs.
However, if you encounter this error outside of a new pack launch, here are some troubleshooting steps:
- Restart the App: Completely close and restart the Pokémon TCG Pocket application on your mobile device. A forced restart may resolve the issue.
- Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, switch to a 5G mobile data connection for better stability.
If the error occurs on an expansion pack release day, server congestion is the probable culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves within the first day.
