The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the community. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players forming firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell 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 “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell 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 probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super 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 ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
