The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the game's release, to players developing strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems very like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
