This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to trainers forming firm views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very like a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
