Troubleshooting Error 102 in Pokémon TCG Pocket
Pokémon TCG Pocket, the popular mobile card game, occasionally encounters Error 102. This error, often accompanied by additional numbers (e.g., 102-170-014), abruptly returns you to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload, typically occurring during the release of new expansion packs when many players access the game simultaneously.
However, if you encounter Error 102 on a non-release day, consider these troubleshooting steps:
- Restart the app: Completely close and then reopen the Pokémon TCG Pocket application on your mobile device. A forced restart may resolve the issue.
- Check your internet connection: Ensure a stable internet connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, switch to a 5G mobile data connection for better stability.
If Error 102 appears on an expansion pack release day, server congestion is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves within a day or two, allowing normal gameplay to resume.
