The Perfect Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Super Form According to the Astrological Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players forming firm opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.
Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
Aries – Mega Camerupt
Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.
The Bull – Super Heracross
Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Observe this total royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Twins.
The Crab – Mega Manectric
The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.
Leo – Mega Starmie
Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy 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 staging a performance, even if for aliens.
The Maiden – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.
Libra – Super Audino
Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.
The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure
Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
