The Perfect Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Super Form Based on the Astrological Sign

This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's release, to players forming strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often always believe 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 get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
