This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to players developing firm views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress even more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
