The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the game's release, to players developing firm views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very like a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for often getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
