The Ideal Pokémon Tales: Z-A Super Form According to the Astrological Sign
The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to players developing firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances 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 mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
The Ram – Mega Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Observe this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.
Cancer – Super Manectric
Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known 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 good time.
The Lion – Super Starmie
Well, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.
The Maiden – Super Victreebel
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.
Libra – Super Audino
Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Super Banette
Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
