Your Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution According to the Astrological Sign
The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's launch, to players forming strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.
Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
Aries – Super Camerupt
Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.
The Twins – Mega Medicham
Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.
Cancer – Super Manectric
The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
Leo – Super Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Super Victreebel
The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.
The Scales – Super Audino
Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.
Scorpio – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.
The Archer – Mega Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. Being a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.
Capricorn – Super Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who often always believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure
Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
