Animal Crossing: New Horizon’sSummer Update - Wave 1is out now, and it adds a brand new NPC, Pascal, to the game. When a player meets this red otter for the very first they will receive a Mermaid DIY recipe, but before they can craft the item they will need to find some number of Pearls. Helping fans get these Pearls inACNHis the exact purpose of this guide, and full details can be found below.
To start, Pascal indicates that Pearls inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscan be found on the ocean floor, and indeed players can encounter them while they are hunting for sea creatures. For full clarity, this is done simply by swimming around in the sea and diving wherever bubbles appear, and occasionally a character will return to the surface with a Pearl.

However,Pascal inNew Horizonsis also correct in saying that Pearls on the ocean floor are fairly rare, and it will certainly take fans quite some time to locate enough of them to craft the full Mermaid set. That said, players can use another source to supplement the Pearls that they find while diving, and that source is none other than Pascal himself.
More specifically, fans can get Pascal to appear once every day by locating Scallops, and on every visit subsequent to the first one he has a chance to reward them with one of two things: a Pearl or aDIY recipe. Currently, there does not appear to be a way to determine which one of these two things the red otter will offer on any given day, but players that do not want to spend a great deal of time diving for Pearls can at least count on receiving some from Pascal over time.
In summary, players that want to get Pearls inNew Horizonsshould simply continue to dive for sea creatures and prompt daily visits from Pascal. While this will not net players a ton of Pearls immediately, fans that are patient will eventually obtain enough of them to craft everything that they want while simultaneously receiving all of the Mermaid DIY recipes and finding all of the new creatures forACNH’s museum.
