Your Ideal Pokémon Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Astrological Sign
The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.
With many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: How can connect this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.
Aries – Mega Camerupt
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to those who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Twins.
Cancer – Super Manectric
Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.
The Lion – Super Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.
The Scales – Mega Audino
Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry even more about others.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. Being a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.
Capricorn – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
