This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to players forming firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several past official descriptions note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage 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 strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through pure hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
