The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often getting absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to 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 typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
