The Perfect Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution According to the Zodiac Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to players forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.
Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.
Aries – Mega Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.
Taurus – Super Heracross
Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Twins.
Cancer – Mega Manectric
Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Well, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.
The Maiden – Super Victreebel
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.
The Scales – Super Audino
Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about others.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.
The Archer – Mega Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.
The Goat – Super Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure
Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
