The Perfect Pokémon Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on the Astrological Sign

The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers forming firm opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face 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 posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
