The Ideal Pokémon Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Astrological Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to players developing strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.
With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
The Ram – Mega Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous official descriptions note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite like a people-smart Twins.
The Crab – Super Manectric
Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Leo – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.
The Maiden – Super Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.
The Scales – Super Audino
Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.
The Goat – Super Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
