The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
