This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression 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 sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. Being a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
