This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's launch, to players developing firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.
Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, 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 to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.
Observe this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.
The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.
Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.
The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.
Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.
This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.
Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.
Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
