Your Ideal Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on the Astrological Sign
This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
Aries – Super Camerupt
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.
Taurus – Super Heracross
Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless fountain of chatter to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’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 – Super Manectric
The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Leo – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.
Virgo – Mega Victreebel
The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.
Libra – Super Audino
Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.
The Scorpion – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.
The Archer – Mega Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.
Capricorn – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure
Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
