Jock villagers are one of the most popular types of villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Here’s how to get an island full of them.

Jock is the most common villager personality type in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, giving players plenty of resident options to choose from when creating the fitness-themed island of their dreams. Jock villagers in Animal Crossing are energetic, competitive, and obsessed with exercise, and they often strike up a playful rivalry with the player to encourage them to do their best every day. There are 57 Jock villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and, while only 10 can live on the island at a time, any combination of Jocks is sure to give the island an upbeat atmosphere.

Jock villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons talk about sports almost exclusively and exercise frequently, and they’re known to hype the player up and compliment how buff they are. They’re easy-going and don’t get angry easily, though they do have a tendency to gossip. Villagers of the same personality type usually get along well with each other, so having an island full of Jocks is a great way to ensure island drama stays at a minimum. One of the two starting villagers on the island is guaranteed to be a Jock, so players hoping to build an all-Jock Animal Crossing island will get a head start just by beginning the game.

Players can recruit villagers to their Animal Crossing island by going on Mystery Island Tours from the airport, speaking to villagers who visit the island’s campsite, scanning in specific Amiibo cards, or even adopting a villager who is moving away from a friend’s island. Mystery Island Tours are the best way to search for new Jock villagers since players can go on as many as they can afford with their Nook Miles. There must be an open lot on the player’s island in order for villagers to appear on Mystery Islands, so Animal Crossing players will have to wait until they have 9 villagers or fewer on the island before going on their tours. However, since the villagers that appear on Mystery Island Tours are completely random, there's no way to increase the chances of finding a Jock villager, which means players will have to be patient and rely on luck to get the Jock villagers they want.
