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

This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several past Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
