This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite like a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
