This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers developing firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.
With numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.
Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.
Observe this absolute queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.
The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.
Well, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.
Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.
Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.
Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
