This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's release, to players developing firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across 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 Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. Being a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
