Your Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution According to the Astrological Sign
The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the community. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players developing firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.
Given many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several previous official descriptions note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
The Twins – Super Medicham
Look at this total royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very like a people-smart Gemini.
The Crab – Mega Manectric
Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for often getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.
The Lion – Super Starmie
Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.
Libra – Super Audino
Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry more about others.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure
Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
