The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players forming firm views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature 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 reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form 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

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
