The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming strong views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

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

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several previous official descriptions mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. As a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
