The following lists all the possible Yo-kai you can acquire from the Crank-a-kai. It is important to note that the crank-a-kai may also dispense food items depending on the color of the coin. Also, note that the Yo-kai or item that will be dispensed by the coin is already determined as soon as you acquire the coins. This can not be changed through soft or hard resetting, changing the time of the 3DS, or changing the order of the coins you insert in the crank-a-kai.

When a coin is inserted into the Crank-a-kai, the color of the capsule will give you a hint of what is inside.

3DS Play Coins is probably the easiest to acquire. To get 10 of these, put your 3DS in sleep mode, strap it on your leg (or anywhere, as long as it will sense your movement), and walk 1,000 steps.

Regardless of whether or not you save after using the machine, 10 coins are permanently used.
