Best Villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons

Some villagers are much more sought after than others in Animal Crossing. Finding villagers can be a challenge, and finding some of them is completely luck-based. There are some brand new faces in New Horizons, including Raymond, the villager everybody seems to be after. Here is our list of the best villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Determining the best villagers is largely opinion-based, and we factor in certain things when making this list. Popularity is an important thing to look at. There are some villagers everybody wants on their island throughout multiple Animal Crossing titles. People tend to prefer villagers with specific personality types, aesthetics, and home decor.

Another way to determine which villagers are the best is by looking at the prices of their amiibo cards. These cards are the only other way aside from trading to get specific villagers to move into your island. Some cards like Raymond, for example, are priced far above the others.
