This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the game's release, to trainers developing firm views on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems very like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often always 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 trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
