Your Perfect Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Zodiac Sign
The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the game's release, to players developing firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.
Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.
The Bull – Super Heracross
Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an endless fountain of chatter to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.
The Crab – Mega Manectric
The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
Leo – Super Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.
The Maiden – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends 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 sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry more about others.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.
The Archer – Mega Hawlucha
Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. As a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.
The Goat – Super Absol
Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.
Aquarius – Mega Chandelure
Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
