The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the community. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to players forming firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Several past official descriptions note their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame typing fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
