The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

With many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, 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 evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. Being a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, 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 Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
