The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the community. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: How can link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several past Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to those who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly 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 next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge 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 known for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality 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 horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
