The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to trainers forming firm views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

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

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
