This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to those who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes 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 fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
