can you kick out amiibo villagers then move them back in again?

[daffodils]

i love aurora but she placed her house right where i wanted to build another bridge!

i?m planning on scanning another card, then asking aurora to leave. once the new scanned villager moves in i?ll scan aurora?s card asking her to move in.

I belive you can only kick them out with another amiibo.

 

[daffodils]

i’ve realized that but do you think i can scan her back in once i kick her out?

 

[StarrySkye3]

Yes you can

 

[carissa.caitlin]

From experience; yes !! It’s so useful to be able to kick ‘em out when they move somewhere unnecessary (aka right in front of my house.) Good luck with Aurora !

yes you can! I wanted to move Filbert's house a bit, so I kicked him out with another card (Drago), and as soon as Drago was out of boxes I scanned Filbert back in. worked like a charm!

amiibos bypass the 16 villager cycle.

Yep.
I've scanned the same villager multiple times.

I have an all amiibo town.

Plot reset though! ^_^

WAIT

So villagers you scan in with amiibo cards don't have to go through the 16 villager cycle before you move the back in?

 

[Loriii]

Yes, you can move them back in again instantly as long as you have their card. I've done this multiple times, usually with normal villagers, because either I was indecisive or I just wanted to try someone out.

Correct!

I've never been through the cycle in the year I've been playing. LOL

As long as you're moving them back in with the card, yes.

Yep and now I have an amiibo only villagers too. It got pretty crazy that I moved Blair in and out 4 times. LOL I sort of missed my other villagers and it's funny that I have none of my original villagers' amiibo cards. I wanted Fauna to stay but she left by herself.
