This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
