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 players to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload; too many players are attempting to access the game simultaneously. This frequently occurs during the release of major expansion packs.
However, if you encounter this error on a non-release day, several troubleshooting steps can be taken:
- Restart the app: Force-quitting and restarting the Pokémon TCG Pocket application can often resolve the issue.
- Check your internet connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, consider switching to a 5G mobile data connection.
If the error persists on a new expansion pack release day, server congestion is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves itself within the first 24 hours.
