This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players forming firm views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected across this creature's whole lineage, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
