The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to players developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. As a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
