This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the game's launch, to trainers forming firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions note their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised 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 posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
