The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several past official descriptions note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
