The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the title's release, to trainers developing strong views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

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

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always shocked face 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 sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
