This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the community. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to trainers developing strong opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: How can connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion 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, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
