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

This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud 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 think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
