This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers developing strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Many past official descriptions note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
