The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to players forming firm views on the full lineup 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 traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Mega 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 empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
