The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to players forming strong opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought 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 individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
