Your Perfect Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on Your Astrological Sign
This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the game's release, to players developing strong views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
Aries – Mega Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.
The Twins – Super Medicham
Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Twins.
The Crab – Mega Manectric
Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.
The Lion – Super Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.
The Maiden – Super Victreebel
The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.
The Scales – Mega Audino
Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure
Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
