Deliveries in Café Remix

I've mentioned a few times a certain feature from Pokémon Café Remix, but I haven't gone into detail about it yet. And now that I deal with the game and often with the feature, I do need to address it. The delivery feature allows one to send Pelipper out into town with a menu item from the café, exchange it with an item from a prospective customer, and receive the item when Pelipper returns. As can be expected, it's another gacha system much like, say, energy rewards in Pokémon Unite, but it almost feels unlike one - the only telltale sign being the disclosure of odds in the Info section of the feature.

Once main order #10 is completed, Pelipper can make one (free, no-frills) delivery every 23 hours, which is rather slow for such an adept Pokémon. Yet it does mean that a delivery can occur daily or, in a very specific case and if one is observant of it, twice daily. In any case, the delivery status (including time left) can be seen on the main menu, and once "Complete!" is shown, the delivered item can then be claimed from Pelipper. Once claimed, the process then starts again by letting Pelipper depart with another menu item.

The most common rewards are Tarts for raising Pokémon levels, which can be expected most of the time. One step up in rarity are kitchen notes for certain Pokémon, which unlock and/or upgrade extra Pokémon abilities. Rarer than that are friend boosts for certain customers to hire them (who once hired will become Pokémon cookies), and even rarer still are "five-star outfits" that dress up and empower certain Pokémon. For the uncommon rewards, as noted in the detailing of currencies in the game, once the limits have been reached, they are converted to delivery points should they be earned again.

As for the non-free and frills aspects of deliveries, one can use a 1x Express Delivery Ticket or else pay 3000 Golden Acorns to have Pelipper deliver and return at once. Some events also allow an extra free and immediate delivery each day, which is prioritized before a ticket or payment. Meanwhile, an 11x Express Delivery Ticket or 30000 Golden Acorns does the same for 11 (10+1) immediate deliveries, and if the ticket allows for an Instant Hire, it hires a prospective Pokémon on the spot. The three items above may be earned from certain events or purchased during certain event periods, likewise regularly for the Golden Acorns.

Because of the regularity of rewards, it is highly recommended not to miss a delivery opportunity, especially when free daily delivery opportunities are present. Yet, because of the common odds, it is also recommended not to go overboard in ticket and acorn exchanges; if possible, tickets can and should be saved as a last resort, or when a good opportunity for (multiple) exchanges presents itself, such as increased odds for certain Pokémon. After that, the rewards may just take care of themselves.

While it remains a gacha system at heart, deliveries in Café Remix are still rewarding and, as above, somewhat flexible. What it may take is diligence and patience in following and claiming rewards, just as much as one has to be diligent and patient in certain other aspects of Café Remix for the best results. Here, that pays off as Pelipper brings in the rewards and means for the Pokémon of the café and beyond to advance themselves as well as the café in serving up as many orders as possible, as best as possible.
