The Ideal Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Astrological Sign
This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to players forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.
Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
Aries – Mega Camerupt
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.
The Twins – Super Medicham
Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.
Cancer – Mega Manectric
The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.
The Maiden – Super Victreebel
The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.
Libra – Mega Audino
Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry more about others.
Scorpio – Super Banette
Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.
Aquarius – Mega Chandelure
Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
