The Ideal Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Astrological Sign

The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players developing strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
