The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
