This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for often getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
