The Ideal Pokémon Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Zodiac Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.
Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
Aries – Mega Camerupt
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several previous official descriptions note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of chatter to those who wants to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.
The Crab – Mega Manectric
Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.
Libra – Super Audino
Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.
The Scorpion – Mega Banette
Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.
Aquarius – Mega Chandelure
Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
