Question: Can two villagers be in boxes at once?

[Darkwing]

I’m in a strange situation: I’m currently trying to kick out Shino for my friend by using an Amiibo, and tomorrow is supposed to be the day that I would be able to do so.

However, Carmen just asked me if she could move out, so now she will be in boxes tomorrow.

If I use the Amiibo to kick Shino tomorrow, will they both be in boxes on the same day? It feels like that shouldn’t be possible, but I’m not sure

If anyone has been in a similar situation please let me know what happened!

Colton asked me to move out and I was 2 days away from getting Sasha via amiibo.

That day Colton was in boxes, but Sasha still asked me who to pick to switch because my island was considered full.

Since I was originally going to switch Colton with Sasha, I didn't test it out, but the game treated Colton like any other villager, not considering he was already moving.

So I think maybe yes, because I would have been able to select another villager to move out to make room for Sasha, and Colton was going to move anyways.

in any case I think that this would cancel Colton's (Carmen) move, but not the one you pick (Shino)

I had Alfonso in boxes the same day I invited Wolfgang from the campsite to kick out Chief, and they were both in boxes at the same time, so it's 100% possible!

Yes, you can have 2 villagers in boxes on the same day. I have done that a few times. One in boxes from amiibo card, which happens to be on the day after a villager asked to move out so both are in boxes.

Thank you for the responses appreciate it a lot! Wasn’t sure if it was something the game could handle, but glad to see it’s safe!
