Your Perfect Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution According to the Astrological Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's launch, to trainers developing strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.
With many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems very like a socially-savvy Gemini.
Cancer – Super Manectric
Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.
Leo – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Super Victreebel
The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's whole lineage, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.
Libra – Mega Audino
Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.
The Scorpion – Mega Banette
Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.
Capricorn – Super Absol
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
