According to code, you only need one 20A outlet on a 20A circuit. The
rest can be regular 15A outlets. In my opinion, it's a poor practice
to do this, but it is acceptable. I only use 20A outlets on a 20A
circuit.

You may be thinking of the requirement that if a 20 amp circuit only has a
single receptacle then it must be a 20 amp receptacle. If there's more
than one then 15 amp receptacles are OK. The packaging for 15 amp units
usually says something like 15 amp plug, 20 amp feed through.
