The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players developing strong views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through pure hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
