The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's release, to trainers forming firm views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.
With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
The Ram – Super Camerupt
To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.
The Bull – Mega Heracross
Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
The Twins – Super Medicham
Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless fountain of chatter to those who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.
Cancer – Super Manectric
The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.
The Lion – Mega Starmie
Oh, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.
Virgo – Super Victreebel
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.
The Scales – Mega Audino
Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.
Scorpio – Super Banette
This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.
Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha
Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.
Capricorn – Mega Absol
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.
Aquarius – Mega Chandelure
Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign 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 Super Form's overall daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
