The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing firm views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored 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 aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
