The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the title's launch, to trainers developing firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many previous official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
