Your Perfect Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Super Form Based on the Zodiac Sign

This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the game's release, to players forming firm opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many previous official descriptions mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for often becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. As a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant 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 fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like 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 flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
