The Perfect Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Super Form According to the Astrological Sign

This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players forming firm opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
