The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's launch, to players developing firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
