Your Ideal Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Super Form Based on the Astrological Sign

The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Many previous official descriptions note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's whole lineage, from a always surprised 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 strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
