This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart 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 tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution 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 closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
