This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to trainers developing firm views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted 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 strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often 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 trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
