The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an endless stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
