The Ideal Pocket Monster Tales: Z-A Super Form Based on the Zodiac Sign

The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to players developing firm views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore 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 intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
