Pascal - Event Overview

How To Get Pascal

Pascal
Appearance ConditionsAppears when you obtain a Scallop
TimeAny Time
:p: ※ Only once per day!!!

Pascal will sometimes appear after you've obtained a Scallop! Note that, unfortunately, he doesn't seem to spawn every time you get a scallop! You might have to keep trying to gather Scallops until he appears.

Only Once A Day!

Pascal will only appear once a day! Even if you get multiple scallops on a day, you can only get him to appear once. If you change the date, you'll have to get a new Scallop that day to summon him.

Reappears When Not Given a Scallop

If you don't give Pascal a Scallop when he asks for it, he will appear again when you find another Scallop. He'll keep reappearing until you give him a Scallop for the day.

1 DIY Recipe Or A Pearl

Pascal

For every scallop you get, Pascal will provide you with 1 Mermaid Furniture recipe OR a Pearl! We're not sure what determines which he gives you at the moment, but we are looking into it. (Note that he can also give you Mermaid Clothing as well!)

Pearl

↑ Sometimes Pascal will trade you a Pearl for a Scallop instead of giving you a recipe

Available All Year

Scallop

Since Scallops can be found in the sea at any time all year, so too can Pascal. Even in the Southern Hemisphere, where it's currently winter (as of July), he will appear!

Swims Around After Getting His Scallop

After you trade him a Scallop, Pascal will swim around the edges of your island, past the bounded-off rope area. You can't interact with him, but you can enjoy the adorable sight of him playing with the Scallop!

Pascal - Scallops Farming Method

Recommended Farming Procedure

StepProcess
1Get a Scallop by diving
2Repeat until Pascal appears, then trade the Scallop to him
3Change time to the next day
4Repeat steps 1~3

※ This method employs the use of Time Travel.!!!

After Trading, Save And Change The Date

Since Pascal will only appear once per day, if you're looking to farm Mermaid items, you'll need to save after trading with him and change the date. Finding Scallops, and then also getting Pascal to spawn, are both entirely dependent on chance, however, so you might have to be patient.

Look For Bubbles

泡を見極めて潜る

▲ Bubbles indicate the creature could be a Scallop

Some Sea Creatures send out bubbles over the water where they are. Scallops are one of these, meaning if you see bubbles rising over the water, there's a chance it could be a Scallop! Prioritize these when farming Scallops.

Scallops Move, But They're Slow

Scallops are a creature which moves when you approach it, but they're rather slow. Even after diving, as long as you accelerate with the A button, you should be able to catch them with no problems.

Who Is Pascal?

A Deep-Sea Deep-Thinker

Pascal

Pascal the Sea Otter is a recurring character in the Animal Crossing series who loves seafood & has a penchant for the philosophical! This time around, it seems like he'll be the central character surrounding the Summer Update, where he'll be responsible for giving you DIY Recipes in exchange for items!

What To Do If Pascal Isn't Showing Up?

Only Appears Once A Day

We mentioned this above but it bears repeating - Pascal will only come up to you once per day! You can still collect as many Scallops as you want, but don't expect him to keep coming back. Keep track of when he arrives and if you want to see him again, employ the use of Time Travel.

Double Check If You've Updated Your Game

Update

Pascal will only appear if you've updated your game to Ver 1.3.0! You can check the version of your game by going to the Switch Home screen, selecting Animal Crossing, and pressing the + button. The version will be displayed below the game title. If you're running an old version, update it right away!
