The staff (Japanese スタッフ staff) is the group of Pokémon that work at the café along with Leah in Pokémon Café ReMix. Eevee is the first Pokémon to join the staff, followed by Rowlet and Piplup.

Recruitable Pokémon

Main article: List of Pokémon in Pokémon Café ReMix

In Pokémon Café ReMix there are 262 Pokémon that can be recruited and used to complete orders (as of Version 6.70), including 41 shiny variants which count as separate staff members. Specifically in the case of Eevee and Pikachu, it is also possible to recruit both male and female forms, which have unique attributes. Every Pokémon has a Specialty as well as a set of skills and characteristics that help them excel in the various modes of the game. The level of the Pokémon can be raised by gaining experience points, which make them more efficient at clearing orders. Additionally, Pokémon can have alternate outfits that give them different specialties or skills from the ones they usually have.

Gender differences

Pikachu and Eevee differ from other Pokémon as they have their male () and female () counterparts available to join the staff as different members. While they share the same special outfits, they have different specialty gimmicks so they are used in different kind of orders and events. Despite the fact that other Pokémon that are available in Café ReMix present gender differences in the core series, such as Wobbuffet, Ludicolo or Sudowoodo, among others, Eevee and Pikachu remain as the only Pokémon that present this distinction.

Shiny Pokémon

Shiny Pokémon exist in the game and they're treated as different members of the staff from their basic counterparts, though most of them share the same characteristics. Shiny Pokémon have access to all the alternate outfits that their basic counterpart have, but they still need to unlock their own basic outfits obtained by leveling up. Not every Pokémon's shiny version appears in the game, only a handful of them are available. From those, some of them are recruitable through normal gameplay, but they are extremely rare. Others have only been available through time-limited events or deliveries. There have also been events that boost the chances of specific shiny Pokémon visiting the café. They are distinguished by the symbol .

Leveling up the Sidekick Bonus of Shaymin Sky Forme

A sidekick bonus is a special ability some Pokémon possess, mostly Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. If a Pokémon with a sidekick bonus is in the lineup, it will activate various effects that will help the player tackle puzzles with an advantage. A sidekick bonus can be unlocked and enhanced by using sidekick candies, which are obtained as a reward during certain events.

Recruiting Pokémon

Raising friendship through normal gameplay

Eevee works as the initial Pokémon of this game. Along with Leah, they open the café and start preparing the first items of the menu. By clearing orders #2 and #3, Rowlet and Piplup join the staff and from there on, other Customer Pokémon start to visit the café, which can have their friendship level raised by the player to make them join the team. To raise their friendship, the player must serve them orders. Each order can give up to 3 hearts (1 heart per star obtained), though this amount can be increased during the Happy Bonus and with the Heaping Help. By progressing in the Menu Development, new customers become attracted to the café. The later a customer Pokémon gets attracted to the café, the higher the amount of hearts it will require to join the café. As the number of regular customers that visit the café increases, the harder it becomes for a specific Pokémon to repeat orders, because customers that have already joined the staff will keep coming back regardless.

Extra Orders

Charmander as well as the Chef's whites outfits of Pikachu and Lucario can be obtained by completing Extra Orders.

Befriending Pokémon through Delivery

Players can use the Delivery function to have Pelipper deliver drinks and dishes to Pokémon in town. After a delivery is completed, the Pokémon will be moved by its deliciousness and will automatically join the staff. The Pokémon available through this method include all the regular customers obtained through the Menu Development, but each delivery rate has 1 or more special Pokémon or outfits that can only be obtained while the event lasts. 1 regular delivery is available for free every 22 hours, but players can use golden acorns for a 1x express delivery or an 11x express delivery. Some events also give players special tickets as a reward which they can use for a express delivery.

Befriending Pokémon through events

Some Pokémon are only obtainable by participating in time-limited events. Depending on the nature of the event, you have to complete a series of tasks or an amount of points to have the event Pokémon join the staff. Most Pokémon that have been available through an event, have either come back in a repeat of the event or through a different method.

Monthly Goals' Premium Pass

Some Pokémon are obtainable by purchasing a Premium Pass and completing the Monthly Goals. The corresponding cookies for that Pokémon will also be available as part of the month's rewards, as well as the 4 outfit upgrades.

Flareon Pass (available in April 2025)

Every once in a while, paid passes ara available for purchase. These are similar to Monthly Goals as they need to be completed within a number of days. Usually, the Pokémon featured in paid passes have already been available through other events in the past.

Microtransactions

Some outfits are occasionally put on sale directly as a microtransaction in the Shop. If the player buys this outfit without having the base Pokémon as part of their staff, the Pokémon will join but only that outfit will be available to use.

Obtained in Pokémon Café Mix (prior to 2.0 update)

Those who had been playing the original version of the game, Pokémon Café Mix, prior to the major update in 2021, retained all the Pokémon they had already recruited, except for Piplup, Minccino, Snubbull and Togepi who had to be befriended again as part of the story. Special outfits of Pikachu, Eevee and Lucario which were treated as separate Pokémon in the Café Mix version became part of the outfit options for the standard Pokémon.

Pokémon List screen

In the Pokémon list section, players can check the details of their staff Pokémon, Pokémon that have visited the café, and daily bonuses. They can also change their staff Pokémon's outfits and train them. If they train a Pokémon whose specialty matches the Daily bonus category, a bonus will be added to its EXP. The banner at the top shows the specialty for which the Daily bonus is activated on that day. Pokémon that match the Daily bonus will have their specialty icon highlighted in red. Pokémon that have been added to Favorites will show a red bowtie icon. The frame of the Pokémon's portrait will denote the rarity of the Pokémon: white (Pokémon that are recruited through normal gameplay), gold (Pokémon obtained through events or that are wearing special outfits), rainbow (legendary Pokémon or Pokémon obtained through special deliveries) and red (Pokémon wearing 5-star outfits). Available customer Pokémon that haven't joined the staff yet appear at the bottom of the list with a grayed out portrait. If they're only available during a limited period of time, they will be removed from this section once the event is over, if they weren't recruited. At the upper right corner a button will show the progress of the Staff Rewards.

Pokémon List screen showing Pokémon ordered by Date joined

By tapping on the "Date joined / Off" button, a screen is shown where various parameters can be selected to filter the Pokémon list. They can be sorted by: Puzzle score, Date joined, Staff level, Specialty, A-Z and Favorites. It's also possible to combine it with other filters: specialty, specialty gimmicks (up to 5), Pokémon that are needed for the Menu Development, Pokémon with 5 star outfits and Pokémon with Sidekick abilities. A red button at the bottom left corner resets these filters. If any filter is selected and the player taps "OK", the filtered list will be shown and the upper button will say "On". The arrow button inverts the order of the list.

Sidekick lineup

In the sidekick lineup, the player can select up to three sidekick Pokémon. The sidekick bonus of every Pokémon in the lineup will be activated. However, if a Pokémon is in the sidekick lineup, it can't be chosen as a leader for orders or add them to the lineup for either One-minute Cooking or Slow Cooking. By tapping the "Sidekick lineup" button, it will show the Pokémon that are currently set.

The first Pokémon in the lineup will be the chief. Underneath the Pokémon, all of their sidekick effects are listed.

To replace a member of the sidekick lineup, the player must tap on the Pokémon that is going to be replaced and a selection screen will be shown with all the Pokémon that have their sidekick bonus unlocked (at least Lv. 1).

Switching outfits

Main article: List of outfits in Pokémon Café ReMix

While in the summary screen of the Pokémon, the outfit can be selected by tapping on the button with the hanger. All the available outfits will be displayed horizontally. Tapping on any outfit will make the Pokémon wear it. The outfit that is selected here will be the one the Pokémon wears if it appears in the café and when playing orders.

Characteristics and stats of Staff Pokémon

Each Pokémon has seven main characteristics that determine the kind of orders they are useful for and how effective they will be (e.g. higher level Pokémon will give an advantage over lower level Pokémon). The name of the Pokémon appears at the top left. Next to it, the shiny symbol or gender symbol will appear if applicable. Similarly, if the Pokémon has an alternate form, the name of the form will be displayed in smaller font underneath the name. The bowtie button next to the name can be tapped to add the Pokémon the Favorites list. At the center, the artwork of the Pokémon is displayed wearing the selected outfit. Underneath the Pokémon, the level and the experience bar is shown. The Staff Training options appear on the right side of the screen.

Specialty

Every Pokémon has a Specialty, which is the Category of dish they specialize on (Entrées, Drinks, Small plates or Sweets). While players can use any Pokémon to try to clear any order, it will be easier to succeed with a Pokémon whose Specialty matches the Category of the order, since otherwise the Specialty gimmicks will not activate. Some Pokémon may change their Specialty while wearing special outfits.

Puzzle Score

The Puzzle Score is the amount of points that will be obtained by linking two icons of this Pokémon. It can vary between outfits of the same Pokémon and it's increased as the Pokémon levels up. There are 16 archetypes that determine the Puzzle Score a Pokémon will have at each level.

Skill

Main article: Café Skill

This attribute represents the amount of icons that need to be cleared in order to fill up the Skill Gauge for that Pokémon. When the Skill Gauge is full, a skill icon of the leader Pokémon will appear in the puzzle and the progress of the Skill Gauge is reset. The smaller the attribute, the faster it will be to produce skill icons. The icons of the leader Pokémon count double. The Skill attribute often varies between outfits of the same Pokémon and it doesn't change as the Pokémon levels up.

Specialty gimmicks

Main article: Gimmick

In Pokémon Café ReMix, every Pokémon has at least three Specialty gimmicks, which are the gimmicks they specialize on. When a Pokémon is set as a leader in an order that matches its Category, the player is able to clear these gimmicks more easily by hitting them with combos made with the icons of this Pokémon. Combos that are made by linking other Pokémon icons in the puzzle will not share the same effect. Some Pokémon change their specialty gimmicks depending on the outfit they are wearing. When the player is linking the Pokémon icons, the gimmicks in the puzzle that can be cleared will be highlighted in blue.

Level

A Pokémon's level can be raised by gaining Experience Points, which are obtained by completing orders with the Pokémon set as the leader, by doing Training with the Pokémon or feeding it tarts. When a Pokémon first joins the staff, its level will be 1. Currently, the max level a Pokémon can reach is 25, which is available since June 23, 2023. Leveling up gives the Pokémon certain benefits, like increasing its Puzzle Score, reducing the amount of links required to produce a Megaphone, or unlocking new specialty gimmicks and increasing their effectiveness.
