The Perfect Pokémon Legends: Z-A Super Form Based on the Astrological Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the title's release, to players developing strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.
With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
The Ram – Mega Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
The Twins – Mega Medicham
Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of chatter to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.
The Crab – Super Manectric
The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.
Leo – Super Starmie
Well, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.
Virgo – Super Victreebel
The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.
Libra – Mega Audino
Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about others.
Scorpio – Super Banette
Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions 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 fitting Archer match I can think of.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.
The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure
Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
