The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the community. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers developing strong views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Many past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
