This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the community. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the game's launch, to trainers developing firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small jester” is countless. 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 exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
