Your Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on the Astrological Sign
The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to players forming firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
The Ram – Mega Camerupt
Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
The Twins – Super Medicham
Observe this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite like a people-smart Gemini.
The Crab – Mega Manectric
Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.
Leo – Mega Starmie
Well, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.
Libra – Super Audino
Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about others.
Scorpio – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.
The Goat – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure
Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
