Your Perfect Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Astrological Sign
The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to trainers forming firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
Aries – Mega Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many past Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an constant stream of chatter to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very like a socially-savvy Twins.
Cancer – Mega Manectric
Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's whole lineage, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.
The Scales – Super Audino
Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress more about everyone else.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.
The Archer – Mega Hawlucha
Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure
Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
