The Ideal Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Super Form Based on the Zodiac Sign

The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the community. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the title's release, to players developing strong opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
