If you’re wondering “When does an Animal Crossing special NPC spawn?,” you’ll find that the answer to that question is a little complex. Special NPCS in Animal Crossing: New Horizons are split into two categories, and each one might have some special requirements.

Out of five weekdays, three of those are dedicated to Kicks, Leif, and Saharah, That leaves two other weekdays where one of the other NPCs can spawn.
Obviously, there are more random special NPCs than there are weekdays. Thankfully, there is a “bad luck prevention” mechanic that pretty much guarantees a random NPC you’ve missed will show up on a weekday in the following week. This means that you should always get each NPC visiting your island every 2 weeks in the worst-case scenario.
