Your Ideal Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution According to the Astrological Sign
The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the title's release, to players developing firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.
With many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.
Aries – Mega Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.
The Bull – Super Heracross
Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.
The Crab – Super Manectric
The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Leo – Super Starmie
Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.
The Maiden – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.
Libra – Super Audino
Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress more about everyone else.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. Being a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players 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 flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
