This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the title's launch, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
