Your Perfect Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution According to the Zodiac Sign

This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing strong opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, 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 perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display 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 imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
