This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to players forming firm opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: How can link this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several previous official descriptions mention their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an endless fountain of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
