The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Many previous official descriptions note their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players 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 rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious 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 Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who often always think they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
