The Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on the Astrological Sign

The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea naturally: How can link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think 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, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” 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 imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
