The Perfect Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on the Astrological Sign

This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: How can link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an endless fountain of chatter to those who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for often becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
