Your Perfect Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Zodiac Sign
The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the community. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to players developing firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.
Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several previous official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Twins.
Cancer – Mega Manectric
The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create 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.
Leo – Super Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie 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 aliens.
The Maiden – Super Victreebel
The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.
Libra – Mega Audino
Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.
The Scorpion – Mega Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.
Capricorn – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
