Your Ideal Pokémon Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on the Astrological Sign
This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's release, to trainers forming strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.
Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: How can link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.
Aries – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
The Twins – Mega Medicham
Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.
Cancer – Super Manectric
Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.
The Maiden – Mega Victreebel
The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.
Libra – Mega Audino
Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.
The Archer – Mega Hawlucha
Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.
Capricorn – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.
Aquarius – Super Chandelure
Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
