The Pearl Oyster is a type of sea creature (type of shell prior to New Leaf) in the Animal Crossing series, introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Despite their name, they are not related to oysters but moreso to clams and other bivalves.
While initially absent from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pearl Oysters were added in the 1.3.0 Free Summer Update in July 2020.
