The Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution According to the Zodiac Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the community. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to trainers forming firm views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.
Given many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
The Ram – Mega Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.
The Bull – Super Heracross
Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.
The Twins – Mega Medicham
Look at this total royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Gemini.
The Crab – Mega Manectric
Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab 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 Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Leo – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.
The Maiden – Super Victreebel
The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.
Libra – Mega Audino
Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.
Capricorn – Super Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure
Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
