This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the game's release, to trainers forming strong views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
