The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers developing strong opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.
With numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.
To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.
Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many past official descriptions note their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.
Look at this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Gemini.
Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.
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 far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.
The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.
Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress more about everyone else.
This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.
Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.
Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.
Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
