The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems quite like a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known 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 – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, 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 sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
