The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to players developing strong views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: How can link this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes 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 fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
