The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the game's launch, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight 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 individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected 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 isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely 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 Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
