The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players developing strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless fountain of chatter to those who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
