Zucker told me he would move out. So now what?

[Boccages]

I know how it worked in New Leaf. Does New Horizons follow the same pattern?

• Zucker did not tell me when he will move out unlike in New Leaf where they would tell you a date in advance.
• I am then expecting he will be in boxes tomorro, then ?
• When can I try recruiting new villagers? Right away? When Zucker will be in boxes? When he will be gone?
• if Zucker is voided, is there a chance someone visiting my town will get him showing up in theirs?

he will be in boxes tomorrow! you can start recruiting new villagers once he's gone and his plot is open, which will be the day after tomorrow. i don't know about the last one, though

Thank you for the quick answer !

For the last one, yes! I got a villager my friend voided from their town.

For the last question: When you have an open plot and are planning on villager hunting on islands, I recommend having your switch in airplane mode. That way there is 0 chance of you getting a voided villager from a friend, or someone visiting for a trade. Then you can hunt as much as you want, and if you are having bad luck you can TT backwards to earlier on the same day, and continue your hunt later, without any risk of your plot getting filled by an undesired villager.
