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

The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the community. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players developing strong views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many previous official descriptions note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an endless stream of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often getting absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric 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 one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The showiest 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 a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – 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 tends to consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
