The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the community. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's release, to players forming firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
Given many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: How can connect this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.
Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
Observe this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Twins.
The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.
Well, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said 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 always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.
Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.
Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.
Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
