Now that you understand what Golden Acorns are, let’s take a look at how you can get them for free.

Get your daily stamps

While the reward varies, you can get a lot of free Golden Acorns simply by logging in each and every day. Each day you open Pokémon Café Mix, you get a daily stamp. This provides you with a reward, which often includes Golden Acorns.

You also occasionally receive extra rewards based on how many times you’ve logged in over a set period, with the current reward being Sweets Pikachu.

Complete challenge cards

Challenge cards provide you with a bunch of free Golden Acorns for completing a series of tasks. These vary from using café skills to performing combos, and don’t take particularly long to complete. What’s not clear though, is how often these challenges reset.

Serve orders

Each time you serve an order, the Pokémon that requested it will, naturally, pay you for it. What do they pay with? Golden Acorns, of course! So, if you’re trying to stockpile them, you’ll want to try and complete as many levels as possible.

Try to beat orders in as few moves as possible

While completing as many levels as possible will provide you with a bunch of Golden Acorns, you can substantially increase this number by beating each level in as few moves as possible. You see, you earn a substantial number of excellent Golden Acorns depending on how many moves you’ve got left. If you really want to rake them in, focus on completing levels in as few moves as possible.

How to make the most of your golden acorns:

But what about those Golden Acorns you’ve already got? Well, why not try and make the most of them with these few tips.

Get the acorns every day pack

If you do want to pay to get Golden Acorns, we thoroughly recommend getting the Acorns Every Day Pack detailed above. Not only do you get an enormous wedge of Acorns initially, you’ll also earn 900 extra each day for 30 days. That’s a whopping 36,800 Golden Acorns for $7.99/£7.99. To get a similar number right away, you’d need to spend $30.99/£30.99.

Save money on power-ups by opening gifts

If you’re frugal with your power-ups, which you totally should be, you should be fine getting by on the free power-ups that you get from opening gifts. You get these every few levels or so, and you can always see when the next is set to arrive in the upper-right of the screen while viewing the café.

Pay for three extra moves once, never twice

If you’re really struggling on a level, and have used all of your lives restarting, you can comfortably pay for three extra moves once. It only costs 900 Golden Acorns, which isn’t actually that many. We would recommend not doing this more than once though, as the number of moves increases exponentially.
