Your Ideal Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Super Form Based on the Zodiac Sign
The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the community. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.
Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
Aries – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.
The Bull – Super Heracross
Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Observe this total queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.
The Crab – Super Manectric
The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.
The Lion – Super Starmie
Well, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.
The Scales – Super Audino
Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.
The Archer – Mega Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.
The Goat – Super Absol
Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.
The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure
Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
