How to catch an Animal Crossing: New Horizons Coelacanth
To catch a Coelacanth in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you’ll need to wait until it is raining and head to the ocean. Coelacanths can only be caught in the ocean when it’s raining and are available all year round. You’ll need to look out for the large fish shadows in the sea. They are rare beasts, however, so you may need to look in the ocean for a while before one shows up. With some Fish bait, though, you can speed up the Coelacanth catching process. Look out below for the steps you need to follow to catch a Coelacanth in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
