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

The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to players developing strong views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

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

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several previous official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems very like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
