The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the game's launch, to players forming firm views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
