The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.
Given many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: How can link this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.
Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.
Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite like a people-smart Twins.
Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for often becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It 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.
Oh, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.
The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.
Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.
Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.
Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.
Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
