3. Pascal Appears!

After catching a scallop, Pascal will appear and ask to trade with you for the scallop!

Pascal's Visit Schedule

Date & Time	Anytime
Location	In the ocean

Pascal is a special character who shows up the first time you catch scallops for the day.

Reminder that Pascal only shows up once per day per player character, so if you have another character on the island, you can use them to get more DIY recipes or pearls!

Why Isn't Pascal Showing Up? (Troubleshooting)

Pascal is tied to the Summer Update Wave 1. Make sure that your game is updated to that version or later!

While he generally appears when you catch your first scallop of the day, he won't show up if your pockets are full and have to swap out your catch!

What You Can Get From Pascal

After appearing, Pascal will ask you for the Scallop you found. If you agree to trade, Pascal will give you items!

Mermaid DIY Recipes

Trade with Pascal every chance you get to complete your Mermaid Series Furniture collection!

Mermaid Set Items & Recipes

Pearls

Pearls are required to craft Mermaid items. They can be found on the ocean floor by diving, though they're very rare. Pascal also offers to give you Pearls in exchange for Scallops.
