This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players developing strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to 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 typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
