How to get Raymond to move to your island in Animal Crossing New Horizons
The only guaranteed way to get Raymond to move to your island in Animal Crossing New Horizons is to purchase his amiibo Card, which can be scanned into your Nintendo Switch by visiting the Town Hall.
Raymond appears in Series 5 of the Animal Crossing amiibo Cards collection, but these are sold at random in packs of three. You might have better luck trying to find one second-hand on a website like eBay.
Alternatively, you can go old-school and wait for Raymond to visit your campsite, or visit other islands in the hope that you find him. There are hundreds of villagers, though, so this could take a while.
This is what Raymond’s Amiibo Card looks like.
