If you’re trying to log into Pokémon TCG Pocket but getting errors, chances are you’re not alone, as the servers are currently in a pickle.

Given the nature of the game, you’ll always have to be online to enjoy the content.

Is Pokémon TCG Pocket down? (June 12)

Currently, the servers of the popular digital CCG are down, and it’s a worldwide phenomenon. The servers across all major regions are not operational. If you’re trying to log in, you’ll get an error. If you still reach the main screen, trying to start a match will create the same error.

The problem isn’t with your internet. Many websites and gaming servers are down worldwide. The exact cause of the problem isn’t known at this point. Sadly, we also don’t know when the servers of Pokémon TCG Pocket will become operational again. The only thing to do is wait, hoping the servers will come online as soon as possible.

How to check Pokémon TCG Pocket server status?

The easiest way to check the server status is by following the official X account of the game itself. Typically, you’ll find a post ahead of any routine maintenance or update, allowing you to prepare better. Such posts also contain the estimated ending periods of the server downtime.

In case of accidental downtimes, your best bet is to check out the social media communities like the subreddit. Alternatively, I always rely on Downdetector. Just type in the game’s name, and it will show the game’s current server status. If you find a spike of red dots, it just means that the servers are down. The results are shown for your local region, but you can switch to a new one.
