This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's release, to players forming strong views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
