This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers forming firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

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

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who often always think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
