The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to players forming firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
