Your Perfect Pokémon Tales: 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. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players developing firm opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.
With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
The Ram – Mega Camerupt
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.
The Bull – Super Heracross
Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.
The Crab – Super Manectric
The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Leo – Super Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Super Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.
Libra – Super Audino
Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
