This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers developing strong views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. Starmie 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 aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called 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 power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
