The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. As a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
