This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the community. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to trainers developing firm views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.
Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.
Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past official descriptions note their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.
Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability 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 own parade.
Well, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, 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 center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.
Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. As a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” 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.
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.
Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
