Your Ideal Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on the Zodiac Sign

This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to players developing firm opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for frequently getting absorbed 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 fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. Being a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element 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 Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
