The Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Super Form According to the Zodiac Sign
The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the community. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to trainers developing strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.
Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.
The Twins – Mega Medicham
Look at this absolute queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Twins.
Cancer – Mega Manectric
The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.
Libra – Mega Audino
Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.
The Archer – Mega Hawlucha
Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes 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 apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.
The Goat – Super Absol
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
