Animal Crossing Pascal: How to find Pascal, Pearls, and Mermaid set DIY recipes in New Horizons explained
Scallops and otters.
Pascal is one of the many special visitors, such as Gulliver and Redd, who can visit your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Though, unlike the other visitors, Pascal can only be found out in the sea surrounding your island, which means, if you want to find him, you need to go swimming.
Once you have found Pascal, however, he may give you a DIY recipe for a piece of the Mermaid set.

How to find Pascal in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
To find Pascal in New Horizons you first need to buy a wetsuit, so that you can go swimming.
Once you're all suited up, head down to the sea and start diving for sea creatures.
The exact creature you're looking for is a scallop, which, luckily, can be found at any time of day and throughout the year.
When you do eventually find a scallop, there's a chance that Pascal will appear in the waters nearby and swim over to you. He'll ask for the Scallop and, in exchange, he'll give you either DIY recipe for the Mermaid, a pearl or an outfit piece inspired by the Mermaid set.
You can trade a scallop with Pascal once per day, but you might have to find multiple scallops for him to appear. This means that, like Wisp, Pascal can visit your island at the same time as another visitor.
Mermaid set DIY recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons explained
In return for a scallop, Pascal will give you a DIY recipe for a piece of the New Horizons' version of the Mermaid set. This set works well with the Shell furniture set, which you might have already discovered, and can help create a magical, underwater themed, room in your house.
To craft a piece of the Mermaid set, you'll need to collect both a variety of shells and pearls.

How to find pearls in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
If you want to make anything from the Mermaid set, then your first job is to hunt down some pearls.
Pearls, like sea creatures, can be found by diving. Simply swim over to the nearest set of bubbles and hope that what you find is a pearl. They are, however, very rare, so don't be surprised if it takes you a while to find one.
Pascal might also occasionally offer to trade a pearl for one of the scallops you find.
Good luck finding Pascal and completing the Mermaid set!
