This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several past 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

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of chatter to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored across this creature's whole lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving 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 stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description 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 Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
