The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to trainers developing strong opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
