The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players forming strong views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
