This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the title's release, to trainers developing strong opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: How can link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer 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 stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
