This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the game's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
