This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to players developing firm views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing fits 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 strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
