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

This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to players developing strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs 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 Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
