The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players forming firm views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.
With many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.
To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.
Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
Observe this total royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.
Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create 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 assume I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact 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). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.
Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress more about others.
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.
Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.
Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
