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.

Shovels can also be used on certain rocks. Daily in every game, a random rock in [[town]] will dispense [[Bell]]s 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.

Artwork of a female player using a shovel from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

Shovels in the Animal Crossing series are used to dig holes and bury items in the ground. It is an essential tool for planting flora, unearthing fossils to donate to the museum, and removing stumps from trees that have fallen to an axe.

In New Leaf, villagers can be seen carrying around shovels, but they are never used.

Usage[edit]

A player digging a hole

A shovel can be used to dig holes in any location where there is no obstruction, such as stone paths, ground designs, buildings, structures, and trees. Flora such as flowers, fruit, saplings and 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 stumps and bushes can only be removed by digging them out with a shovel.

A player dug up an egg
A player dug up a bag of Bells.

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 Doubutsu no Mori e+, a random rock in town can be broken once a week to access the Resetti Surveillance Center. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, a fake rock will appear somewhere in town and can be broken with a shovel to reveal a single piece of ore. Additionally, in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, 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 trees, or unearth random Bells from the ground.

In New Horizons[edit]

Shovels in New Horizons will break after a specific amount of uses. Digging up items buried in the ground, uprooting plants and trees, and hitting rocks all reduce a shovel's durability. A shovel's durability is not reduced when hitting other players or characters, hitting objects that are not rocks, digging holes without finding anything or when filling holes.

Unlike most other tools, shovels will not break for the certain actions even when they are no longer durable. This is to prevent the breakage from interfering with the action. Such actions include breaking rocks, uprooting full-grown trees, or when hitting a rock that dispenses an item. The shovel will remain usable until a short moment after such actions have stopped.

Shovels cannot be used on any players' islands unless they are marked as a Best Friend.
