Your Ideal Pocket Monster Legends: Z-A Super Form Based on Your Astrological Sign

This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players developing strong opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players 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 signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
