The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players developing firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.
Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.
Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.
Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an endless fountain of chatter to those who wish to listen. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.
Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.
Well, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.
Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.
Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
