This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players developing firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many previous official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
