Your Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on Your Astrological Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the title's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.
Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
The Ram – Mega Camerupt
Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
The Twins – Super Medicham
Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Twins.
Cancer – Mega Manectric
The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for often getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.
Leo – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.
The Maiden – Mega Victreebel
The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.
Libra – Super Audino
Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.
The Scorpion – Mega Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.
The Archer – Super Hawlucha
Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. Being a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.
Capricorn – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.
The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure
Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
