The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer 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, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several previous official descriptions note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
