The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

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

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. Being a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes 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

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who often always think they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
