How To Fix Pokemon Home Error Code 500?


Fix 1: Quit The App And Launch It Again

Occasionally, the error may be caused by network or server issues. So If you encounter this error code, then try quitting the app and wait for a while before launching it again.

  • Quit the App.
  • Then wait for 20 to 30 seconds.
  • Then relaunch the Pokemon home app.

Fix 2: Download And Install The Latest Update

If you are using an outdated version of the Pokemon Home app then this can also be the reason behind the error.

So check if you need to update the Pokemon Home app. If yes then consider installing the updates.


Fix 3: Reinstall The Pokemon Home App

To confirm whether this is an app-related issue or something else, try reinstalling the app. If the error persists even after reinstalling the app then most probably it’s a subscription-related issue.

  • Uninstall Pokemon Home.
  • Then restart your device.
  • Once the device gets restarted, reinstall the Pokemon Home app.

Fix 4: Purchase The Subscription From The Nintendo eShop

If you still have the error then most probably it’s a subscription-related issue especially if you didn’t purchase the subscription from the Nintendo eShop.

If you have purchased your Pokemon subscription from anywhere else other than Nintendo eShop then this can also be the problem behind the error.

During our research we have come upon a Reddit thread where one user mentioned the same, you can see the screenshot below. He purchased the subscription from the IOS store and was getting the same issue. He tried contacting Nintendo and Pokemon support but nothing helped.
