The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the community. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's release, to players developing strong opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.
Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.
Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.
Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.
Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an endless fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a people-smart Twins.
The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Well, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.
Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress more about everyone else.
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.
Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
