The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the game's launch, to trainers developing strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many previous official descriptions note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant 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 Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
