This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the title's launch, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for often becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
