A shovel can be used to dig holes in any location where there is no obstruction, such as stone paths, ground [[design]]s, buildings, structures and [[tree]]s. Flora such as [[flowers]], [[fruit]], [[sapling]]s and [[bamboo|bamboo shoots]] can be buried within holes in order to grow them. Items can also be buried in the ground, and are marked with a small star-shaped crack. Items can be unearthed with a shovel, while digging plants will destroy them. [[Tree stump design|Tree stump]]s and [[bush]]es can only be removed by digging them out with a shovel.

 

Shovels can also be used on certain rocks. Daily in every game, a random rock in [[town]] will dispense [[Bells]] or [[ore]] when struck with a shovel. In {{DnMe+}}, a random rock in town can be broken once a week to access the [[Resetti Surveillance Center]]. In {{NL}}, a fake rock will appear somewhere in town and can be broken with a shovel to reveal a single piece of ore. Additionally, in {{NH}}, all rocks except for one will yield resources, such as clay, stone, or iron nuggets, while the remaining one will yield Bells like in previous games

In every game, there are more advanced versions of the shovel that have unique effects, though they differ between the games. The Silver Shovel has a slim chance of altering the [[Money Rock]], causing it dispense double the usual amount of money, or ores instead of Bells. The Golden Shovel has the ability to bury [[Bells]] to plant [[Money Tree]]s, or unearth random Bells from the ground.

==={{WW|nolink}}===

In {{WW|short}} and all future games up through {{NL|short}}, Money Trees can only be planted with a Golden Shovel, however, unlike in {{PG|nolink}}, they can now be planted anywhere a standard tree will grow.

==={{CF|nolink}}===

{{CF|short}} introduces a Silver Shovel with a unique effect, in addition to the standard and golden variations.

|}

==={{NL|nolink}}===

{{NL|short}} changes the requirement to obtain the Golden Shovel. Filling in holes without using the shovel can now be done while still carrying said tool and the button method has been changed to the Y button.

| Standard Shovel

==={{NH|nolink}}===

Shovels in {{NH|short}} will break after a specific amount of uses. Digging up items buried in the ground, uprooting plants and [[tree]]s, and hitting [[rock]]s all reduce a shovel's durability. A shovel's durability is not reduced when hitting other players or characters, hitting objects that aren't rocks, digging holes without finding anything or when filling holes.
