The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the community. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to create 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.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

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