The Perfect Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Super Form According to the Astrological Sign
The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the title's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.
With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
Aries – Super Camerupt
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.
Gemini – Super Medicham
Look at this total royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Twins.
Cancer – Super Manectric
Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.
The Maiden – Mega Victreebel
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.
Libra – Mega Audino
Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Mega Banette
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.
The Archer – Super Hawlucha
Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.
Capricorn – Mega Absol
Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure
Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
