There’s a difference between unlocking and actually recruiting a Pokemon in Cafe Mix.
Unlocking them means they’ll start showing up as customers, but you’ll have to work on fulfilling their orders to increase your friendship ranking with them. Once the rating hits the required number of stars, they’ll join your cafe staff.
Fortunately, it’s not as random as it sounds. Once you’ve fulfilled 55 orders, you’ll unlock the Party feature. Once per day, you get a chance to invite two Pokemon to the cafe so you can work on improving friendship levels. The two chosen Pokemon are initially random, but you can spend 50 Golden Apricorns to shuffle them up and try to pull two others.
Pokemon Cafe Mix Pokemon List
Eevee
Plain vanilla Eevee is your starting pal. But it still has a special ability that clears all surrounding icons and Pokemon in a puzzle.
It’s also got an alt costume you can trade Master Mode Points for in the Swap Shop, and as you’d expect, these are just for looks. Costumes don’t alter a Pokemon’s abilities.
