If you have 20 villagers you should statistically have a greater than 50% chance of finding one of them after using 15 tickets!
Best of luck to you!
A day spent island hopping and I'm crushed

Ooooooh interesting ^-^ Thank you!
I absolutely feel your pain. I have been looking for a snooty villager for almost 3 whole days doing about 20-30 tours a day. It is absolutely awful to gain all these NMT just to be useless in the end. out of maybe 50ish tours I found one snooty villager (Elise) about 3-4 trips in. I had her in New Leaf so didn't want her again. Since then I have not come across a single other snooty villager yet have found Zucker, Lolly, Angus, Elmer and Boots all 2 times. I know its basically random but I must be so unlucky
So what this thread is saying is that I need atleast 300NMT/600Mileage pts to even have a good chance on finding Teddy? ;-; I went island hopping a few days ago and only saw 3 bears I think and one cat (no chance at raymond). Also I find that the act of redeeming miles for one tickets or item so tedious. I redeemed quite an an amount only for me to go crazy waiting for ONE TICKET. ONE ;-; Don’t think i’ll be island hopping anymore if the chances so low and getting tickets so long.
I've also been trying to find one little Snooty. And I keep getting Erik and Kabuki and such like. Great villagers... but I really need a Snooty atm!
If I get Erik again I'll cave and take him.
I agree that using NMT isn't the best way to guarantee a villager you're looking for, true. But just as you can get absolutely terrible RNG, you can also have extremely good RNG. I've found three dreamies - one took three tickets, and the other two each only took two tickets.
That said, if there is only one villager you want, probably you're better of trading for them or buying them. I had a list of 12 dreamies who I was open to adopting, so that's probably I was able to find three of them so quickly.
Oh hey, there's people here who feel my pain; I made a thread like this today as well.
I'm still (since almost two weeks, "yay"...) at the point where I'm supposed to place down the three initial plots and invite a Lazy, Normal and Peppy. Got Drago and Fauna super-fast and am happy with those for Lazy and Normal, but as for the Peppy ones, I originally wanted to go for Dotty or Bunnie. Over 100 tickets in and I've yet to see a single rabbit. 8/48 Peppy Villagers are rabbits. How can I not see a single one of those in, by now, 117 Mystery Tours which show me only Peppy villagers?!
On a different note, I saw Audie today for the first time...and then three times in a row.
By now, Pinky holds the record with eight appearances, followed by Wendy with seven and there's a few with six, five or four appearances. This is not even RNG and I am so, so upset. I don't own amiibos and all I want is to advance my game at this point, but given how Dotty and Bunnie are my two favourite villagers and I also really like Ruby and the other rabbits, I just refuse to give up. But it seems impossible at this point.
I still think it might be daytime related as I can only play for the same hours every night and stayed up some longer just to test things and boom, suddenly Audie. But I'm not sure, of course it might just be not-random-RNG...

I was pretty positive it was just bad RNG, but there was one day where I saw Octavian, Bubbles, Bangle, and Patty an INSANE amount of times. I think I saw Patty 3 times within 10 tickets.

Funny that you saw Octavian 3 times and Zucker twice. I was reading a thread on this same topic a few days ago and everyone agreed that they saw the 3 octopi an unusually high number of times. Perhaps the game randomises by species rather than by villager?
I would say that this is likely true. I'm only getting Peppy villagers right now, so there's no Octopi in my pool, but I feel like 80% of the animals I get are bears or mice, which leads - given the limited amount of those when looking at only a single personality group - to the endless repeats I'm getting. I do get someone new and rare ever so often, but not getting rabbits despite eight of them being in a pool of almost 50 Peppys basically means that the whole species seems to be excluded for me.
The question is: Can this be stopped (as I'm at it for over a week now, trying to get rabbits) or is this something that's unique like our native fruits and flowers?

I wonder if the dataminers might be interested in gathering that kind of information. There's datamining about how flowers breed and the probability of getting a particular mystery island, so if there is a pattern to it rather than RNG, it should be findable within the code.
And for all of you looking for Raymond, don't lose hope! I was hunting for a snooty and found him on my 8th island tour, when I wasn't looking for him. Best of luck to all of you in your dreamie hunts!

It's random. I've hunted 3 times in total for villagers. The first time I saw Zucker 3 times. The second I saw Zucker twice. The third time I saw Marina once and no other octopus. My third time hunting was my longest (~300 tickets).

I think there's a phenomenon or something (I don't know what it called) that if you want something real bad, life will give you the opposite of what you want.
I've had one day I did any serious island hopping so far (though it's pretty tame compared to what some of you have endured). I went to the island maybe 30-40 times? I ran into Zucker twice and Octavian either three or four times. My game attracts octopi like crazy apparently. I got Marina as my random normal move-in too.
The first time I went to an island I got Audi, who I love! When I actually went looking for villagers, I saw Blanche first. I ended up passing on her and regretted it, because after that it was just a steady stream of octopi and chickens.
I'm sorry that you're feeling so discouraged, that's no fun. I hope you're able to find something there you like soon.

I will save up some tickets again to get him but I dunno lol.I think there's a phenomenon or something (I don't know what it called) that if you want something real bad, life will give you the opposite of what you want.
