Your Ideal Pokémon Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on Your Zodiac Sign
This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players developing strong opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.
Taurus – Super Heracross
Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Look at this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.
The Crab – Mega Manectric
Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount 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 make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
Leo – Super Starmie
Well, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.
Libra – Super Audino
Look at this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about others.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.
Aquarius – Mega Chandelure
Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
