This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players developing firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
