Summer Update: Wave 1 Is Out! Post Your Findings Here! ~

I cannot find the giant clam or the isopod. I believe I'm in the right time frame but they are just not appearing..
edit: got the isopod

They are extremely difficult to catch, imo. The clam more than the isopod. I had to chase one down for like 10 minutes, they can get away from you fast. I only ever find them in the top left corner of my island for some reason! So maybe check there and see if that's a common spot they spawn!

i literally got the isopod and then the giant clam immediately afterwards i was a bit shook. i havent found any since, though.

both spawned to the north of my island as well, but neither were particularly difficult to catch. i swam up to the bubble and when i dove under i was basically on top of the lil shadows. just a press or two of A and i caught them easy-peasy. but that was after i had dove under without being on top of the bubbles/shadow, and i did chase them for a lil bit until i did that method.

for some reason the first clam kept getting away but every single one since then has been lazy and let itself get caught, haha! I suppose it's the luck of the draw!

I've been doing laps around the island. I think I got my isopod towards the right side of my island, but I think it was mid-lower instead..

when i was swimming around for the first time i wondered if maybe only some of these dudes could be caught in specific locations (like east, west, south, north) but i guess maybe that's not the case. idk whether that's relieving or not tho
 
Do you by any chance have sources on this? my town relies on the exterior glitch and I've been hesitant to update because of fear they've patched it.
If you're worried about any houses you have that are currently glitched, they will stay glitched with the update, at least.
My Velma is still living in Julian's house lmao.
 
Same for me! I've found a Scallop (it's in my Sea Creatures Critterpedia) but Pascal never appeared? 😟 Makes me wonder if he isn't guaranteed.
I had Pascal pop up the first time I caught a scallop, but not after that, even though I aught more scallops.. I'm hoping he appears tomorrow. Maybe he only shows up once a day?
Post automatically merged:

@people who had pascal: did you already donate a scallop to the museum?
No. The first time I caught a scallop, he just appeared. I had not donated any sea creatures to the museum yet. After that first time though, he has not appeared even though I've caught more scallops.
 
Doesn't seem like jellyfish spawn and chase you as you swim. I did catch a moon jellyfish. So from the looks of it, it seems like the jellyfish in this game can be caught unlike in New Leaf, but I haven't explored it enough to be 100% sure.

I've been diving for hours and not a single jellyfish came to stung. Pretty sure we only catch them now.
 
Beau came up to me and asked me to deliver something! That's definitely new!

Edit: Nvm this is just incredibly rare

That's been a thing, actually! It's just that the option for it is super rare... I got my first delivery task maybe a month or more into the game? That was back around April/May I think

Oh that's unfortunate...this is my first one and I've played everyday since release lol
 
I may be mistaken, but I’m prettyyyyyyyy sure my Nooks is now offering different colors of items instead of the same one every time that item appeared
 
The seaweed is displayed like leaves and I can walk over them?? YAS
