This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the game's launch, to players developing strong views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several past Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's entire lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
