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 you to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload, frequently occurring during the release of new expansion packs. The game's servers simply can't handle the surge in players.
However, if you're encountering Error 102 on a non-release day, consider these troubleshooting steps:
- Restart the app: Completely close and then reopen the Pokémon TCG Pocket application. A hard restart of your mobile device might also be beneficial.
- Check your internet connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, switch to a more stable 5G connection.
If Error 102 appears on a new expansion pack launch day, server congestion is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves within the first day.
