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

The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to players developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, 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 Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
