This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players forming strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: How can link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
