The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to players developing strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
