Your Perfect Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Astrological Sign

The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the title's release, to trainers developing firm views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
