Anyone know how to get an Amiibo scanned villager to finally ping?

[foxgl0ves]

I have Julian and Mitzi, and I've seen a lot of people searching for him recently. I'd like to be able to help out but I can't get either of them to ping me! Also, I have the RV cards of lots of different dreamies I've seen, such as Maggie, Bea, Dobie, Piper....and I just don't wanna scan them in unless I'm sure I can get them to move.

Whats an easy way to do this? I've read it has to mostly be a full town of Amiibo move ins. My main town is the one with Julian and Mitzi and I'm worried they'll never move out unless I can get a Kyle and Lolly card.

So here's how it goes. The more amiibo villager you have, the more likely they will ask to move. You have 2, so they will not ping you in FOREVER I'm not even joking. I had 5 at one point. It took over a year IN GAME to make Claude ping me, who I was really good friends with.

When you have 8 -thou I don't recommend it unless you REALLY like them- they will ping you to move out as regularly as the normal animals. However, once an amiibo villager moves out and you're down to 7, it will be very rare of them to ask to move out.

I recommend filling your town with 10 villagers, not amiibo. To keep your number at 2, keep making either Julian or Mitzi be replaced with other amiibo animals. But you can only replace them of you have 10 villagers.

Sanrio villagers will never ever EVER ask to leave. I've heard the Zelda and Splatoon ones don't ask either, but I'm not 100% on this.

I've never had Wolf Link or Medli ask to leave.

Well I don't know about Sanrio but I think the actual amiibo ones can do that as long as they are 8+, iirc I had one of the splatoon ladies asking me to do that as well as w. link but correct me if i'm wrong.

I never had any of my amiibo villagers ping me to leave. I've heard that some 'claimed' to finally have their amiibos ping them after a long time. And I'm pretty sure if you just invite all amiibo villagers and nothing else then they'd have to up the probability of a moving ping.

I waited forever for one of my amiibo villagers to want to move until I finally just caved in and kicked them out with another amiibo. It was a pain, because I didn't want them to plot back where the other one was. They did plot there a ton of times, but I just kept plot resetting until the house was somewhere else.

'Claimed'? More like truth cause Claude did finally ping me to leave. Now he isn't in New Town anymore.

Yes claimed because I never had it happen to me. So I'm only going by responses others have made. My point is that it probably only happens if you have too many amiibo villagers scanned in or wait a very long time. I doubt a lot of us want to scan a ton of amiibos in just for that to happen or kick one out with another amiibo. It's nice to have a villager leave and have a grace period where you can block off where they moved if it is an undesirable spot.
