Your Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Zodiac Sign

This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the community. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. Being a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
