The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the title's launch, to players developing firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past official descriptions note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
