The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the title's release, to players forming firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.
To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.
Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several previous official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.
Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.
The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.
Well, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.
Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.
Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.
Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.
Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
