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 code like 102-170-014, unexpectedly returns players to the home screen. The most common cause is server overload, frequently occurring during the release of new expansion packs when many players log in simultaneously.

However, if you encounter this error outside of a new pack launch, several troubleshooting steps can be attempted:

• Restart the App: Completely close and restart the Pokémon TCG Pocket application on your mobile device. A forced 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 5G connection.

If the error persists during a new expansion pack release, server congestion is the likely culprit. Patience is key; the issue usually resolves within the first day or so.
