The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the community. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the title's release, to players developing strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still 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 unabashed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute 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. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, 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 Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
