The Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on the Zodiac Sign
The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the game's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.
With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous official descriptions note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.
The Twins – Mega Medicham
Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.
Cancer – Super Manectric
The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.
The Scales – Super Audino
Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress even more about others.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.
The Archer – Super Hawlucha
Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.
Capricorn – Super Absol
Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega 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.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
