This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the community. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
