Your Ideal Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution According to the Zodiac Sign
This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players developing firm views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.
Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Look at this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a people-smart Twins.
Cancer – Mega Manectric
Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Leo – Mega Starmie
Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.
Virgo – Super Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.
The Scales – Mega Audino
Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about others.
Scorpio – Super Banette
Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
Aquarius – Mega Chandelure
Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
