Your Ideal Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on Your Zodiac Sign
The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to trainers forming firm opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.
Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: How can connect this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.
The Ram – Mega Camerupt
Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.
Taurus – Super Heracross
Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very like a people-smart Gemini.
Cancer – Mega Manectric
The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Leo – Mega Starmie
Well, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.
Libra – Mega Audino
Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.
Scorpio – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.
The Archer – Super Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.
Capricorn – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure
Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
