Your Perfect Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution Based on the Zodiac Sign

The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players forming strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems very like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
