Your Perfect Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Astrological Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's launch, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.
Cancer – Mega Manectric
The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Well, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.
The Maiden – Super Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.
The Scales – Mega Audino
Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.
Scorpio – Super Banette
Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.
The Archer – Super Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.
Capricorn – Super Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure
Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
