How to Change Your Account in Pokemon TCG Pocket

As a seasoned Pokémon TCG Pocket player with countless hours logged into this digital realm, I’ve found myself in need of switching accounts more times than I care to remember. The lack of a built-in logout option is certainly an interesting choice by The Pokémon Company, but it’s not stopping us dedicated trainers from finding solutions!

The Pokemon TCG Pocket app has made it somewhat challenging to log out, possibly as a means to prevent exploitation. Nevertheless, players have managed to discover several ways to sign out and switch accounts. This guide will walk you through these methods and provide information on how to transfer data if you intend to move your progress over to a new account.

Pay attention when logging out using the methods below, as some options may accidentally erase all your saved work. Make a conscious choice and follow instructions diligently to protect your progress.

How to Change Your Account in Pokemon TCG Pocket

In the Pokemon TCG Pocket app, there isn’t an automatic logout feature. To exit your current account, you can either erase your saved data or uninstall and reinstall the game. It seems unlikely that they will add a sign-out option in Pocket, as it appears to be a safety measure against potential gacha exploits.

Here’s every workaround for logging out of your Pokemon Pocket account:

Log Out by Reinstalling the Game

Tap and hold the game’s icon on your device.
Select “Uninstall” or “Remove App.”
Ensure the game’s data is also removed from your device.
Reinstall the game.
Log in with new credentials.

How to Stop Auto-Login in Pokemon TCG Pocket

If your game logs back into an old Google account when you reinstall it, consider turning off syncing for that particular account on your device. To do this, delete that specific Google account from your device so Pocket won’t have access to it. After logging in with the desired account in the game, you can resync the previous account with your device if necessary.

Keep in mind that if your game isn’t connected to a Google, Nintendo, or Apple account, then deleting the game will cause you to lose your current game progress.

Before unsyncing, save your Google account’s backup codes to make re-syncing easier.

Log Out by Deleting Save Data

Open the Menu. (The three horizontal lines in the bottom-right corner)
Go to Other.
Select Account.
Tap ‘Delete Save Data.’

Leaving this app will sign you out of Pokemon TCG Pocket. Just remember, deleting your save file will permanently wipe out your game progress, including any unique cards and items bought either with actual money or in-app currency.

After the data has been deleted, you’ll be taken back to the main menu, allowing you to sign in with a fresh account.

How to Switch Accounts in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Log out of the game by either deleting save data or reinstalling the game.
In the title screen, select your Country/Region.
Agree to Terms of Use and Privacy Notice.
Log in with new credentials.

Each device is limited to one Pokemon Pocket account, meaning The Pokemon Company doesn’t provide any in-built methods for switching between accounts. Therefore, if you want to change accounts, you must sign out and then sign in using a new account every time.

If you’ve previously employed the trick called “reroll exploit” in Pokemon Pocket, then you probably know the account-changing procedure, since both methods operate under similar principles.

How to Transfer Pokemon Pocket’s Date to a New Device

In the title screen, determine your Country/Region.
Confirm your age.
Acknowledge the Terms of Use and Privacy Notice
Select ‘Transfer Existing Save Data.’

If you’re unable to reach the main menu, it means you’re currently signed in with a Google, Apple, or Nintendo account. In order to move your data to another device, you’ll first need to log out. This can be done by either deleting the saved data from the settings or by uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
