Why Does Pascal Not Show Up in Animal Crossing New Horizons?
Pascal, a red otter, does not show up in Animal Crossing: New Horizons if the player’s inventory is full, as he requires open inventory space to appear when a player finds their first Scallop of the day. To increase the chances of encountering Pascal, players must ensure they have free space in their inventory and are wearing a wetsuit to go swimming and diving for sea creatures.
Understanding Pascal’s Appearance
Pascal is a unique character in Animal Crossing: New Horizons who appears when a player finds a Scallop while diving in the ocean. He will ask the player to trade the Scallop for a reward, which can be a piece of pirate furniture, a mermaid-themed DIY recipe, mermaid-themed clothes, or a Pearl.
