This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the community. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the game's launch, to trainers forming firm views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, 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 Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
