This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.
Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: How can connect 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 almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.
Taurus – Super Heracross
Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.
The Twins – Super Medicham
Observe this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very like a socially-savvy Twins.
The Crab – Super Manectric
Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own 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 think 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 Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.
The Maiden – Super Victreebel
The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.
Libra – Mega Audino
Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress more about everyone else.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.
The Archer – Super Hawlucha
Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.
Capricorn – Super Absol
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
