How to Get Pearls

There are two ways to get pearls:

  1. Find while diving.
  2. Get from Pascal.

1. Find Pearls while Diving

ACNH- Finding a Pearl while swimming

Pearls can sometimes be found when diving down on the ocean floor. They have a small shadow, and do not move. They are quite a rare find, so be sure and hang on to them if you do get one!

2. Trade Pascal Scallops for Pearls

ACNH - Trade with Pascal for Pearls or Mermaid Furniture

Sometimes when finding a Scallop, Pascal will appear and ask for it. If you allow him to have it, he will give you something in return. You can receive a DIY recipe for the Mermaid Series, and sometimes, he will give you a pearl instead.

If you are lucky enough to encounter Pascal in the ocean, be a friend and give him the scallop you find!

so they did say that they have a small shadow and don't move. Apparently their bubbles move straight up and don't kick up sand.
