The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers developing strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.
Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.
Look at this total royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.
Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Oh, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.
The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign famous 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 lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.
Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.
Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.
Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.
Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.
Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
