The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With many of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.
Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.
Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.
The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on 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, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.
The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.
Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.
This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.
Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.
Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
