The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. Being a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry 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 apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who often always believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
