The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's release, to players developing strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several past Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon 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 legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion 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 Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. Being a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
