The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the game's launch, to players developing firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several past Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
