If you’re encountering Error 17 while shopping on the official Pokémon Center website, it’s typically related to issues during the checkout process.

Here’s how you can troubleshoot and resolve this error:

🔍 Common Causes of Pokémon Center Error 17

1. Billing Address Mismatch: The most frequent cause is a discrepancy between the billing address you enter and the one your card issuer has on file. Even minor differences can lead to verification failures.

2. Incomplete Payment Information: Missing or incorrect details such as your name, email, or card number can trigger this error.

3. Guest Checkout Issues: Opting for guest checkout instead of creating an account may result in verification problems.

✅ Steps to Resolve Error 17

1. Verify Billing Information: Ensure that your billing address exactly matches what your card issuer has on record. Double-check for any typos or formatting differences.

2. Use a Registered Account: Instead of checking out as a guest, create a Pokémon Center account. This can provide an additional layer of verification and streamline the checkout process

3. Try a Different Payment Method: If possible, use a different credit or debit card. Alternatively, consider using PayPal if it’s available.

4. Switch Browsers or Devices: Sometimes, browser compatibility issues can cause errors. Try using a different browser or device to complete your purchase.

5. Clear Cache and Cookies: Clearing your browser’s cache and cookies can resolve underlying issues affecting the checkout process.
