Your Ideal Pokémon Tales: Z-A Super Form According to the Astrological Sign
The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.
Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: How can link this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
Aries – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.
The Bull – Super Heracross
Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
Gemini – Mega Medicham
Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.
The Crab – Super Manectric
The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
Leo – Super Starmie
Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Super Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.
The Scales – Mega Audino
Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry even more about others.
Scorpio – Super Banette
Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.
The Goat – Super Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.
Aquarius – Mega Chandelure
Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
