This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers developing firm views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight 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, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an endless stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often getting absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” 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 Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
