This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.
Given many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.
Aries – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.
Taurus – Mega Heracross
Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.
The Crab – Super Manectric
Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.
The Lion – Super Starmie
Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.
The Scales – Super Audino
Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha
Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.
Capricorn – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.
The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure
Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
