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 high volume of players attempting to connect simultaneously.
However, if you're encountering Error 102 on a non-release day, consider these troubleshooting steps:
- Restart the App: Completely close and restart the Pokémon TCG Pocket application on your mobile device. A hard restart might resolve the issue.
- Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, switch to a more stable connection, such as 5G mobile data.
If the error persists during a new expansion pack launch, server overload is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves within the first day or so, allowing normal gameplay to resume.
