The Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on Your Astrological Sign
The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the title's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.
With many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: How can link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.
The Ram – Mega Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
The Twins – Super Medicham
Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.
The Crab – Super Manectric
The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability 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 – Super Starmie
Well, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.
Virgo – Super Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.
The Scales – Mega Audino
Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.
The Archer – Mega Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount 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 show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.
Aquarius – Mega Chandelure
Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
