The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to trainers developing strong views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers 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 side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make 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.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious 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 Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
