The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players developing strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many previous official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. 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 rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. 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 – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
