Your Ideal Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Super Form According to the Astrological Sign

The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the community. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing strong opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
