Your Ideal Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Mega Evolution According to the Astrological Sign
This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the title's release, to players developing firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.
With many of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can link this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.
The Twins – Mega Medicham
Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.
The Crab – Super Manectric
Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
Leo – Super Starmie
Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.
The Maiden – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.
The Scales – Mega Audino
Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress even more about others.
Scorpio – Super Banette
Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the very 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 Mega Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.
Aquarius – Mega Chandelure
Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
