This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the title's launch, to players forming strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an endless fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, 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 predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount 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 Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
